Following the reduction in the number of diagrams since the December timetable change, can anyone confirm which Power Cars / Sets remain part of the operational fleet? Over the last month 11 power cars and 4 sets have been used for service, listed below. Can anyone confirm the full list...

Ex-LNER/EMR 43295 has left Ely by road for Great Yarmouth. Expected to join the next batch of power cars / Mk3s going to Mexico.

0Z99 has just been routed back out of platform 0, so assume the Mk4 set will remain at KGX for the time being.

Power cars 43009, 43010, 43016 and 43192 are moving from Ely to Great Yarmouth this morning. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R02600/2023-10-10/detailed

The booked diagrams are posted on the thread linked below, most recently quoted in post number 884. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/gwr-hsts-to-be-stood-down.239794/page-30

Laira to Ely Papworth Sidings, 5L46, showing in RTT for tomorrow. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K03755/2023-09-26/detailed More ex-GWR stock, or XC?

Is there temporary lineside signage installed to remind drivers of where to lower / raise the pantograph?

Plot twist: 1S53, 12.27 Plymouth to Edinburgh is now allocated as a HST - 43007 & 43008.

With that set returning south, it sounds like by this evening the full XC HST/Mk3 Fleet will be at Laira, except 43184 and 43304 (spares for the tour) at Neville Hill. So on that basis, yes, nothing southbound and one northbound working tomorrow.

I assume that will be 43303 & 43304.

That has been briefly mentioned in this conversation with XC on Twitter / X this morning. I guess it's an option if they can get the power car fixed in time. Probably best to assume Voyager until it's allocated though! https://twitter.com/CrossCountryUK/status/1702945874400174170

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?

Will be interesting to see whether it's replaced at Plymouth for a HST on 1S51. If not, then assume 1V50 could be a Voyager on Monday - unless there's already a set at Craigentinny. I notice there's an ECS move from Laira to Neville Hill today, showing as 43184 and 43366...

Laira to Minehead path in for today, allocated as 43042 and 43162, with set GW03. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:V20079/2023-09-11/detailed#allox_id=2

1V50 (06.06 EDB-PLY) and 1E73 (16.27 PLY-LDS)

I've seen mentioned elsewhere on this forum that 42367 went to Sims Newport yesterday.

Can anyone confirm whether ex LNER Mk3 42110 is still based at Nemesis Rail, Burton-on-Trent?

The ship has left Great Yarmouth. Destination currently showing as Castellon in Spain - so appears it will not be a direct trip across the Atlantic. Calling points en route! https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9736212

For the two remaining LNER vehicles, my guess would be 44063 & 44094. The photos on twitter show 3 x LNER TGS vehicles. With the exception of 44061 (reported above), I believe these were the only two remaining ex LNER TGS vehicles stored at Ely. If my notes are correct, that leaves 2 x ex LNER...

Reported elsewhere on this forum and on Twitter yesterday, that several Mk3 HST Coaches are being exported to Mexico. Link to one of the tweets below:- https://twitter.com/Clinnick1/status/1687161141678522386 Does anyone know which ex-LNER vehicles are involved?
