Have the various problems created by the severe curvature been sorted?

Maybe, unless of course the trains were positioned there by depot staff!

Well yes but unless they used a crane they must have been driven there. Where's the local knowledge when you need it??

Driven there most probably, however I think the issues were more to do with being able to walk between the cars on the roads with the tightest curves!

Sounds like the Upminster S stock situation all over again... Has that been resolved yet?

There isn't actually a train on 17 road, in the picture, which is the one with the real tight curvature.
As to what the formal status of the sidings is at the moment, who knows??
However if depot staff can take trains in and out then I fail to see why anyone else shouldn't be able to!

And if others can't take trains in and out of there, maybe a trip to occupational health will cure it. I believe its a condition known as 'Driver Syndrome'. Hehehehehe

How many full trains can Upminster hold now (6 carriage D Stock)
And how many S7 trains will it be able to hold ?

Difficulties in walking between cars and trains getting tripped on the kickboards to name two.

Difficulties in walking between cars and trains getting tripped on the kickboards to name two. And the tripping certainly hasn't been resolved - was down there on Tuesday and watched a train get tripped at least 3 times in 15 foot (or 3 metres for the youngsters amongst you  ) |
