Description
The presenter has given previous presentations on the Stadler FLIRT introduction covering the design phase and focussing on the depot and facilities.
This presentation looks more at the Service introduction issues experienced with the fleet in the early days, covering keys areas of preparation which went well and others that could have been better. This includes issues with training, the overall cascade planning and some of the “storming, norming and forming” that is associated with such a significant change.
