So Hull Trains have confirmed that they have secured a HST with the company saying more information will be announced in January. Does anyone know and details at this stage?

Any update on OC32 and 43165/190?
I note that 43190 was still on its own at Longrock TMD albeit with branding on 04-01-2019.

It didn't, it came up from Penzance on the 15th. Since then it has gone back to Penzance and then failed to make it back to SPM as an AWS defect on 43165 saw the move terminated at Laira. As a result today's move to Hull was cancelled.

More vehicles to be converted to power doors then and refurbishment? How long is this for? Until their class 802s come in? Or is it also because their 180s are going off lease early perhaps? What could the main reason be for this?

Their 180s are proving to be somewhat unreliable. Have a look at this thread for some background.

The idea was to have to HST sets that were going off lease from Great Western. They are going to stay until the end of 2019 as nothing was mentioned about them being Power door fitted only to get a reliable service put back is the hope.

This whole 'HST replaces 180' is so ironic because in 2008 the same thing happened to these units on the Great Western. It would have been even more ironic if the additional powercars brought in last time to replace them were used to replace them this time! :D

This thread is to discuss the topic of Hull Trains HSTs. It is not about Grand Central.

If anyone wishes to discuss something else, please create a new thread.

If you see someone else go off topic, please do not continue the off topic discussion. Please either report it (if it needs to be split into a new thread) or ignore it. If you wish to reply with something else that is off topic create a new thread.

It is much better if people create new threads themselves, however I understand a moderator is going to split this discussion when time permits.

So where has training been taken at. Do we know if Laira has sorted out 43165 with the AWS problem yet and if the they will be heading off soon to Hull and Back.

Do we know how they are going to operate the HST? Will it have a diagram or be more like a hot spare?
