For trainsets that were to be used in highspeed operation, seems kinda stupid to have doors that have to be manually opened and closed. Kinda hard to swallow, considering it's more efficient and speedier to have automated doors. Going to become more complicated when they add the extra coaches - in exchange for not restoring the remaining trainsets.

Monday thru Friday. This schedule utilizes only ONE Turbo set. The equipment makes two round-trips per weekday.
The turbos were operated on train 262 last Saturday - not sure if weekend service is a regular occurence.
