1S51 and 1E73 were HST as booked.I see 17:25 Plymouth to Leeds is HST today - does that mean that either 12:27 Plymouth to Edinburgh or 15:25 Plymouth to Leeds were Vomiter?

Again. As booked for a Sunday.Looks like it's the past 2 and past 6 off Plymouth today. Completely different from the rest of the week.
Southbound 0606 Edinburgh to Plymouth is to got to Laira Depot so 2 sets were out this morning.Looks like only one set is out today as 15:27 Plymouth to Leeds is 5 vice 7 on Journey Check.
It's a miracle it even got that far this morning. It was very nearly failed by at least 3 different people with completely different faults before departure this morning.Southbound 0606 Edinburgh to Plymouth is to got to Laira Depot so 2 sets were out this morning.
It's done well considering as it was on time most of the way.It's a miracle it even got that far this morning. It was very nearly failed by at least 3 different people with completely different faults before departure this morning.

They change week to week at short notice.Can anyone advise me please what the Saturday/Sunday diagrams are for the XC HST's in these strange times? Many thanks.
Thank you 221129 - I thought that may be the case. I'm really missing my usual trips this time of year on the XC HST's down to Devon. Its a real treat now HST's are becoming rarer.They change week to week at short notice.
From what I understand the plans is for more XC HSTs to be used once we get back to some kind of normal.Thank you 221129 - I thought that may be the case. I'm really missing my usual trips this time of year on the XC HST's down to Devon. Its a real treat now HST's are becoming rarer.
Thanks for the info. Yes I think they are getting 43208/239 but last I heard they were still at Eastleigh being prepared for XC. I think their plan is to use 4 out of the 5 sets regularly when things get back to normal? Thats great news.From what I understand the plans is for more XC HSTs to be used once we get back to some kind of normal.
It was explained to me the other day that the reason for the extra power cars is that power cars tend to run 7000 miles between exams, whereas trailers run twice that. This means that the extra pair of power cars can swap out at the end of say week 1, then the set stops for exam at the end of say week 2. In the meantime week 1s powercars will be fresh off exams to relieve another pair, and so on.
Yes that's the plan, I think it was due to start from December, but has been put back a bit due to the current situation.Thanks for the info.
