From Tuesday, will the Voyager replacements do the same diagrams as the HST sets? That is, will they start and end and Neville Hill and Craig Tinny? Or would the Neville Hill ones (in particular) be extended from/to York or Newcastle (which is where 1V48 starts on weekday mornings)?

16.27 is Monday as the train is diverted via Westbury. Today (Fri) it's 15:27 via the usual route.
yes that's right, but someone posted the 15.27 is the HST not the 16.27, but I was always meant to believe the 16.27 Plymouth to Leeds was meant to be the last passenger cross country HST service-not the 15.27. I am aware it goes via Westbury, but is this definitely a HST operation or is the last HST operation the 15.27??

I think there is some confusion over which day you are talking about.
The 15.27 today is a HST, the 16.27 on Monday is a HST (or planned that way anyway)

RTT will help with this. Todays 1E63 Plymouth to Leeds is a Plymouth to York on the week commencing 25th, thence ECS to Tyne Yard. 1E63 also runs to York next week, but starts an hour earlier due to the diversion via Westbury etc.

Thanks - makes sense (to me) that it would run further north to be nearer the rest of the fleet.

No northbound HST to Edinburgh today.

Does anyone know whether there is already a set at Craigentinny which could form Monday's 1V50, or is the remaining HST work likely to be all south of Leeds?

First class looked quite busy on the 1V44 0609 Leeds to Plymouth this morning (43321 & 43378) when it departed Wakefield. Was worried it would pop up as a voyager or even got cancelled when allocation wasn't showing on RTT

Yes.
So what are we thinking is likely Monday? Best case being a Voyager south and set swap to HST for the northbound?

And seemingly, as a worst case, a strong chance of the Monday final day being a bit of a red herring to deter enthusiasts from crowding their trains?

The northbound working on Monday was always booked a different set to the arrival so whatever arrives south should have no impact.

I suppose it's possible 1V44 will revert to HST on Monday instead of 1V50? 43303/43304 have presumably got to get back to Laira somehow.

I was hoping to take the last HST down on Monday - 1V50 from Darlington to Plymouth.
Looks from above like that won't be HST... is that def the thinking?
Will the 1627 up from Plymouth be the last HST now, nothing scheduled for later days?

The 16.27 Plymouth - Leeds on Monday is all that is left now.

Didn't 2 other power cars move to Neville Hill the other day?

Spares for the tour.
Are these going back to Laira as 5Z43 tomorrow (Sunday)?

So to summarise...no HST southbound on Monday, and only the late northbound working?
