CrossCountry HST Diagrams

[Morpethcurve]

Thats been my starting point - I’ve been surprised by substitutions a few times so am hoping to get last minute updates. I live near Brighton so try to make the most of each trip up north!

Someone may have already posted this but I believe Fridays are (theoretically) better as there are (theoretically) more out hence a Voyager can be (theoretically) freed up to double a Manchester to Bournemouth and return.

43303 continues to elude me. Could anyone tell me what it’s doing Thursday 5th please?

Many thanks

Not Allocated today.

 

[Morpethcurve]

I appreciate the info. I’ll head back south today then!

Does anybody know the diagrams today? There's a diversion in place between Cheltenham Spa and Bristol Parkway, via Gloucester and Newport.

Does anyone have the allocations for today? 1V54 is a Voyager.

Journey check shows 1227, 1327 and 1527 from Plymouth being HST's. The 1727 is showing 5 v 7.

Only 3 HSTs are currently available to be allocated, so one circuit will be 221 vice HST this week.

What's the reason behind this? XC05 is having modifications but what about the other set?

All 4 are out to play today.

One of the sets had been a failure on Neville Hill most the week.

So is there no leeway on Fridays?

Not until XC05 comes back no.

And unsurprisingly the set due to work 1S51 today has been declared a failure at Plymouth with 1S51 1227 Plymouth Glasgow cancelled throughout.

Yes. I wonder when 1S51 was last cancelled throughout. Unlucky Friday 13th is is then.

Looks like the 16:19 Nottingham and 16:30 Edinburgh trains out of Birmingham New Street are going to be a pretty tight squeeze. 16:49 I'm not sure - 17:03 should get enough people on.

With a reduced timetable being implemented on Monday, what effect will this have on Cross Country's HST diagrams. Will they be stood down?

Last day (for a while) is today according to rumours.

 

[43 302]

Not even Sunday?

 

[Jamesrob637]

Single Voyagers are probably sufficient for now, all routes and all times of day.

 

[Mag_seven]

No-body is travelling.

A rumour is all it is.

A rumour is all it is.

What do you think?

 

[221129]

What do you think?

I think it's just a rumour. I'm reasonably confident that there will be HSTs running about tomorrow at least.

 

[yorkie]

Just a gentle reminder this isn't the trip planning section; it's for diagrams and allocations and not for anyone to go into detail about their trip. Thanks.

 

[43 302]

Cross country have confirmed on twitter that they will be using some of their HSTs.

0611 x Leeds is an HST next week

Forming the 1227 from Plymouth after?
