is the 1555 Birmingham Moor St-Marylebone still a class 67 + Mk3 stock?

Monday to Friday, yes it is.

I've moved this thread to the correct forum.

A quick check of the Chiltern Timetable (here) shows that it still a LHCS set.

Thanks, I checked on "Open Train Times" And it said it was running to 158DMU timings so I thought that I would just double check, Thank you for your help (:

Timed for a 168, surely?

Nope, 158 at 100mph!

I think there is a typo on the website then!

Seeing as though LMs new 110mph services via Weedon are timed for Class 506 at 110mph, I think it is more of a sort of a bodge in the system.

Perhaps The Planner can explain more?

What a train is timed for is often of no relevance to what it is booked for, or even wish stock the TOC has. I believe GOBLIN runs are still timed for 150s etc

Maybe, I just think it odd that the journey would be timed for a train which isn't even in the fleet of the TOC in question, at a speed of which the train isn't capable of.

Couldnt agree more.

The timing load for the train in question in the Working Timetable is for a 168, as would be expected.
