Any idea of what diagrams the regular XC HSTs will be running on Saturday?

ThanksThe normal Saturday diagrams...
1V46 and 1V50 were the LNER diagrams. Which have no reservations throughout.Anyone travelling on the 07:45 from York possibly all the way to Penzance booked in Coach F and Quiet Coach G can't access their seats because these coaches are locked out of use.
From looking at Twitter, this was supposed to be one of the 2 LNER HST's but was a XC one instead.
I'm quite gutted to have missed the chance to come to Birmingham New Street to watch one of the LNER sets - I missed out as XC hadn't confirmed it til a few days before. Presumably I'm guessing XC didn't have time to put these into their systems?*
*Back in 2008, they hired 2 then NXEC HST's and were able to let passengers book a seat on these but not with the 2 hired LNER HST's before today.
It'll be interesting to see how well the 8-coach HST's keep to the timetable. I understand they're 8 instead of 9 because of the size of the platforms but how come they've hired 9-car HST's before?
Aye been a bit of a farce with this one this morning unfortunately. I'm also on board.On 1V50 which is 30 Late. Plenty of seats and a full buffet. Coach D has no lighting so is pretty much empty.
There is some gibbering on YouTube about some more use of LNER sets on BH Monday, is there any truth to this or is it just mutterings
Ok taOnly plans were sat and Sunday. Today being RMT, got cancelled. I don’t think so.
No there isnt.There is some gibbering on YouTube about some more use of LNER sets on BH Monday, is there any truth to this or is it just mutterings
Am I right in thinking that the LNER HSTs were simply replacing the XC ones on the same diagrams? If so, what is the point? Why not just run the normal XC sets?

Wrong. 4 normal summer XC hsts were in service. Additional were the lner ones x2 diagram.
1v46 1s53
1v50 1e63
Thanks - that makes more sense than simply substituting HST sets. How likely is it that these operations will be repeated in future?6 hsts in total for XC services. Doubling voyagers on other routes. Shame RMT ruined this for today.

hi does anyone know what times cross country run HSTs on Tuesdays? hoping to hop on one from exeter to birmingham today.
that's brilliant, times fit perfectly into my day thank you1225 ply-Glasgow and 1525 ply-Leeds should be. Not sure timing from Exeter for them.

Interestingly, the inward working from Laira depot (13.06) into platform 7 at Plymouth North Road ( to form 13.25 to Edinburgh) is shown as HST. So, your guess is as good as anybody’s!!

it’s a voyager. Hst was on 0925 Penzance to Dundee 1125 from Plymouth. That was meant to be a hst. No hsts availability in laira.
