CrossCountry HST Diagrams

[Mitchell Hurd]

Many XC trains can reverse en route, hence why no forward or backwards facing options.

Oh I know that, just seemed odd that there's a normal way round for XC HST's. Makes sense as the correct way round for LNER trains is First Class at the London end and on both 5-car sets.

 

[Rhydgaled]

The correct formation is first class at the 'South' end

Thanks for the answer.

Whatever was on the 1903 Birmingham to Leeds train last night was only 6 coaches with no buffet coach.

XC03 is STILL missing its buffet coach, which is on NL.

Does anyone know when 43208 & 43239 will be ready to start work with XC?

Is the 11:27 Plymouth to Newcastle a HST today as it looks unusual on Journey Check?

That is a Double Voyager formation. A,C,D,F is the Front set and G,I,J,L is the rear set.

The trolley operative and first class host were working like Trojans to keep a refreshment service running for passengers.

When the repaint and door mods have been done. They went to Eastleigh in January, so probably about April?

Excellent...thanks for the response.

I’m on a northeast 4 day rover, and both planned-for HSTs let me down today Sunday. I realise things change on the day.

if anyone in the know could tip me off re. the 1S51 (1225 ex PLY) on Monday 2nd, I’ll plan for that somewhere after SHF.

I know I can ask someone to check TRUST, but was misled on the above train. Maybe it was substituted mid route.

many thanks- Morpethcurve

Engineering works affected the HST diagrams yesterday along with some disruption in the Sheffield area which lead to two Leeds starts starting at Derby.

There was only 2 planned HSTs yesterday in the North East which ran as booked...

 

[221129]

1S51 (1225 ex PLY) on Monday 2nd

Currently allocated XC03 with 43207 and 43378

Which has now failed so is now a 5Car Voyager starting from Bristol.

I must have duff gen then. I waited for 1V56 and 1S51 on Sunday, bowled on both. I did pass another southbound, unexpected (by me) mid a-noon.

How about Tues 3rd - I’m expecting 1V64 (1307 ex EDB) and 1S51 (1225 ex PLY) to be HSTs. 1V50 and 54 will not be achievable, too early, since I start at NCL.

Any info for Tues would be most appreciated.

Many thanks!

With hindsight, Sunday was a day when engineering diversions near Birmingham meant the northern destinations were swapped between Plymouth and Bournemouth/Reading origins. So for example 1S51 ran in normal times through Newcastle, but came up from Reading so couldn’t be an HST. AFAICT 1V56 started at New St towards Plymouth...

1V64 is not booked an HST on Tuesdays. Here are the HST diagrams for Tuesdays - subject to change on the day of course (as 1S51 was today!).

Tuesday/Wednesday
1V44 0611 Leeds to Plymouth / 1S51 1225 Plymouth to Glasgow Central
1V50 0606 Edinburgh to Plymouth / 1E63 1525 Plymouth to Leeds

 

[221129]

1V66 and 1S56 were the only booked HSTs to Scotland on Sunday.

 

[Morpethcurve]

Thanks for all the input. There’s hope for tomorrow then!

1V50 will be a Voyager tomorrow.

 

[Mag_seven]

1V50 will be a Voyager tomorrow.

I assume the return working (1E63) will be an HST using the failed HST that should have worked 1S51 yesterday (Monday) (assuming they have repaired it!)

The HST sets are on diagrams that don’t normally reverse/turn en-route with only 2-4 diagrams.

The Voyagers are common ‘user’ and have a couple more diagrams than the HSTs. They don’t generally cycle through the daily diagrams.

I've been on an HST that reversed at Gloucester before, can't remember the diagram but it was booked as an HST which is why I booked that train.

That's a one off on a Friday.

This coming Sunday (8th March) we've got diversions between Cheltenham and Bristol Temple Meads via Newport/Severn Tunnel. No destination swaps this time because the diversion adds nearly 1 hour.

 

[Morpethcurve]

Out again tomorrow (weds), and I’d be jolly grateful for the HST diagrams for the 4th.

many thanks - Morpethcurve
