What was the reason?
I suspect it's because the wires are down (again!) between Retford and Newark.
Overhead wire damage south of Retford the morning Azuma diverted but arrived 69L

Ah, that makes sense.
All Leeds - Londom services suspended. Network rail only allowing the xx:00 and xx:30 Anglo Scottish services to depart Kings X.
From 27th May one more diagram introduced, then 1 a week for the next 4 weeks.

What are the new diagrams being introduced? It looks like the 1933 KGX-LDS forms part of one anecdotally based on some bookings I've made in June.

There’s six of them in post #53 of this thread. You’ll find your service in diagram DN802 which was expected to start on the 27th May...

Again, as per the details for diagrams DN805 & 806 in post #53?
Any news on when Inverness services will be introduced?
Unlikely.
By next week there should be the 1645 and 1714 from Leeds (and inward workings).

Towards the end of the year, around November/December time, as it's one of the last HST diagrams to go over to IETs

Nonsense, the HSTs have to be replaced before the end of 2019

I doubt it will be that quick (can an 800 handle the Highland Mainline?).

It will be, from next Monday 1x diagram (currently 91s atm) a week goes over to an IET.
There are only 13 HST diagrams, so it could be done in 13 weeks.
But it's not that simple, I'm guessing Aberdeen and Inverness would need to be fitted with new shore supplies beforehand, but easily doable in 6 months.
Yes, they can, the whole point of ordering Bi-modes was so they could operate North of Scotland services.
Anyway the GWR sets can handle the Devon banks so I don't see the Highland mainline being a problem

That's what I was thinking
Well clearly the LNER twitter team have different information!
Looking at the current unmodified state of the EMT and LNER sets I expect the 2019 deadline will be extended

LNER HSTs are expected to be replaced before December anyway

“Twitter teams” are possibly the least informed people in the average TOC...
'Expected' doesn't seem to be working in the Railway Sector at the moment when you look at the delays in new stock.
The first 6 diagrams replace 1 HST and 5 Mk 4 diagrams. It would appear that returning some Mk 4's is the current priority.
The HST's clearly offer more flexibility.

The HSTs are being replaced from July
Ie once those initial 6 diagrams have been introduced, the focus will be replacing the HSTs

An LNER HST set. It’s non-standard, being 8 coaches and using VP185 power cars. It was used on a dedicated diagram involving both weekday Hull services until replaced by an Azuma recently. It is now mostly a spare set.What is this NL65 thingy of which you all speak?

Thanks. Which power cars are on it?
