I know the wye at Paris is out of service as i had to run a Dash 8 backwards all the way to Mac Yrd from London. Urgh..

Crew stated that nobody on board was qualified to use the wye in London (which, I believe is located on the Guelph Sub) Corrections to my memory are always welcome haha

Phil, they ended up running to London as-is after much discussion with the RTC/chief. 2575 was running on battery power at that point, and I can remember that they requested a pilot for the Guelph Sub

Hmmm, with the other two units facing east, I wonder how they switched the units,unless they ran long hood forward for the rest of the trip?
