    Rail Freight Flows and News UK

    Has Freightliner stopped running loaded jumbo trains to Acton Yard for splitting and forwarding to the London terminals now? I have been looking on RTT for 6/7A09 and can only find the empty jumbos from Wembley heading back to the Mendips.

    TPE Mk5/68 sets.

    Has been talked about on TPE Facebook groups for a good month now. What an absolute kick in the nuts to the south route crews that has been through it all. The only upside is that two of the missing services have been reinstated from September. July 27 is quoted as the last day.

    CrossCountry HST Diagrams

    I've just been browsing RTT for XC services at Sheffield on Bank Holiday Monday 29/5/23 and if its correct there's 3-4 HST diagrams that day. That can't be right can it? Or is it just some diagrams are HST but will be 220/221 worked instead?
