Up until approx September, HST’s did not go on to Bounds Green as none where stabled overnight in London. Has this now changed.
Now? They're haven't been HSTs into KX since last year, other than the NMT.

I'm not going to say it's mission impossible but I'd have guessed there's many better places to transfer a rail vehicle to road if it were a possibility other than where this was accomplished. Quiet residential roads but I'd guess still a tight fit.

HSTs had always stabled at Bounds Green - not every night but the Saturday night up Aberdeen always stabled overnight there for the first down Aberdeen on Sunday morning.

There was also one that got put into Bounds Green mid morning and then came back out again a short while later. Possibly was the stock for the 12:00 Inverness.

As Class 80x trains were introduced, we had a HST set that come to BN around 11am, and left at 19:07 to make an evening Leeds service. Also when HSTs were around, ever since I started (3 years ago) on a Saturday into Sunday, we had one that come in for overnight servicing every week.
Is that the service that’s routed via the Hambleton South to Hambleton West chord?
