What are you hinting at!(initially I wrote 'farewell', but that seems inappropriate given what their fate's likely to be)

Will the 10:51/13:47 be a non-stop or an all-stopper to Cambridge and London Kings Cross? (edit: the 13:47 would seem like a non-stop/semi-fast, considering the time frame between 13:47 and 14:55)The GN 365s bow out on Saturday with a couple of additional runs:
Diagram 1:
1P83 08:11 PBO-KGX
5Z99 09:23 KGX-KGX (via Bowes Park RRL)
1C65 10:51 KGX-CBG
1C69 13:47 CBG-KGX
5E69 14:55 KGX-Hornsey EMUD
Diagram 2:
1P85 09:10 PBO-KGX
1P65 10:22 KGX-PBO
5P65 11:42 PBO-PBO NENE
Where will the 365s find a home - especially given the volume of new units being delivered over the next few years? Hopefully someone will know of plans for their re-use, but if not, one-way trips to Newport (other dismantling sites are available) may be inevitable.What are you hinting at!
Varamis Rail seem to be interested in using them.Where will the 365s find a home
They probably won’t be re-used in large numbers, it’s basically what this whole discussion‘s been about. There’s a parallel thread in speculation - and that can’t find a home for them either.Where will the 365s find a home - especially given the volume of new units being delivered over the next few years?

Indeed, that’s where I split this discussion out from!There’s a parallel thread in speculation - and that can’t find a home for them either.

Hahahahaha.Varamis Rail seem to be interested in using them.
Well, their website claims that in about negative-one month from now, they will be running from a nonspecific point in the Midlands to a nonspecific point in Scotland. By the photos on the page, traction will be a mixture of Virgin Pendolinos and HS2 Ltd's rolling stock concept...Does anyone actually believe they’ll ever run a train?
Hahahahaha.

They have been granted their Mainline Safety Certificates and are waiting for their Train Operating License.Well, their website claims that in about negative-one month from now, they will be running from a nonspecific point in the Midlands to a nonspecific point in Scotland.

Sounds legit to me!
If they're real then how is their website and public presence so unbelievably terrible?They have been granted their Mainline Safety Certificates and are waiting for their Train Operating License.
You can read the letter on their Twitter page:-

Which services will they be on this evening?Taking that farewell message into account, would it now be correct in assuming that this evening's 365s are the last ones.
Not sure why you're so sceptical, they already sell gift sets for enthusiasts!Hahahahaha.

Its either the 1P50 1742 to Peterborough or the 1P52 1812 to Peterborough.Which services will they be on this evening?
I'm pretty certain it will be the 1P52 1812 London Kings Cross to Peterborough service @class717
Thanks, would be good to know if they will run at all tomorrow but from the advertised message on the departure boards shown above by @Hadders doesn’t look likelyIts either the 1P50 1742 to Peterborough or the 1P52 1812 to Peterborough.
What’s the last 365 service now?
Cancelled just as the VSTP schedules have shown up... Ah well!Sorry guys this has now been cancelled.
Thanks in advanceWill find out when I’m back in work this afternoon
