Thanks this is now updated along with your other suggestion

Thanks, so Eastleigh for storage and later Newport for scrap. Past stock has previously been either taken straight to Newport or scrapped on site at Eastleigh.

Yes I think there were a few deliveries but there has been long time without deliveries, only starting recently I think. Saw some pictures with loads of 777s in france waiting but not being, delivered

If you’ve seen TBRD on signalling diagrams it’s likely am abbreviation of Thunderbird, ie a rescue locomotive.
As well as normal headcodes the signaller can put anything up to 4 characters in manually.

Thankyou – will update now

Hi, at this time I do not think that there are any class 701s in passenger service. I know that some are stored at Wimbledon whilst others are stored at Eastleigh, however i’m not sure how visible these are. I think that this service later today may be a class 701 on test, but I am not certain. You’d need to ask around https://live.rail-record.co.uk/train/?c=K04749&d=26/04/2021

I think there have been movements around between Kirkdale and Crewe/Warrnington. I don’t think that the units at Crewe/Warrington are new, they’ve just been moved from Kirkdale possibly for tests.
For example here a 6X77 from Kirkdale to Crewe , I think a unit was moved for tests. http://charlwoodhouse.co.uk/rail/liverail/train/22527108/05/01/21
