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)

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.

Varamis Rail seem to be interested in using them.

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.

Indeed, that’s where I split this discussion out from!
For now, I guess it’s one last dance on Saturday.
Yes, 1347 would have to be non-stop (or near-non-stop to make that), tight behind the 1344 the whole way. Although it would need to take some pathing to follow 9J37 (https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/L61556/2021-05-15/detailed) at Hitchin through to Finsbury Park. So Kings Cross arrival about 1445.
The 1051 would get stuck behind 2C16 (https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/L22298/2021-05-15/detailed) at Hitchin, so would be a Cambridge arrival of about 1158.

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...
Sounds legit to me!

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.

You can read the letter on their Twitter page:-

If they're real then how is their website and public presence so unbelievably terrible?
Maybe there's a great group of railway people running the operational side, but they could easily sink any confidence investors and the industry have in them with a website and social media that looks like it was put together by some schoolkids...
If anyone from Varamis is reading this, hire a press or media officer!
Sorry guys this has now been cancelled.

Will the 0811 PBO still be 365 operated?

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

Its either the 1P50 1742 to Peterborough or the 1P52 1812 to Peterborough.
The 18:12 from KGX to PBO is a 365. The 17:42 is normally a 387.
I’m planning to travel on the 18:12 all the way to PBO tonight.
Whatever happens tomorrow I doubt anything will call at Stevenage so it looks like today last day the 365s will call at Stevenage.
We have had conflicting info about tomorrow so I really don’t know what, if anything, will run. Hopefully someone in the know can update us later.

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 likely

Agreed. I'm going to give 1P85 a go either way!
Will find out when I’m back in work this afternoon

Thanks in advance
