99.99% confirmed to be the 1342 ex Sunderland and 1820 ex Kings Cross on December 16th.

Thanks to various members of GC staff who told me this.

 

[Max]

Great news if its true!

 

[Jordy]

I hope so! But i'll believe it when I see it

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

The only problem with Sunday is engineering works at the KGX end. My Money is on Monday.

 

[Demps]

Just realised your into clag as much as me sir 'clagalot' heh, anyway, excellent, wished the time was a little earlier though, going to be dark when she hits york.

 

[Techniquest]

I'm gonna be busy with my 23rd birthday this Sunday, so if it is this Sunday I'm not going to be able to do it.

Still, bring it on!

 

[Tom]

LDB was reporting for GCs northbound afternoon run today.

 

[Techniquest]

I was finding GC runs for this Saturday just gone on online journey searches. The ones terminating at York were showing as going to Sunderland too.

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Must have been the "third set" that was out an about at the weekend then!

 

[Techniquest]

It was running? Did it run to London? If so, I'd have gone for some photos...

Definately can't make it this weekend if it happens, I have a little over a tenner left for now...I honestly can't believe I spent about £230 in less than 2 weeks!!!

Soon, my pretty...

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Joke! We didnt run last weekend...

 

[Techniquest]

Easy to get me wound up when it comes to HSTs it seems...

 

[BOSCH]

And can I wait? No! Might be out next week for a GC run! Gotta be done!

*Runs to look up cheap tickets to Sunderland*

Pfft platform 9 3/4 at King's cross is more likely to exist than Grand Central's first service.

Had to have something to occupy me time !!

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Don't give up the Day Job Bosch!!

 

[djw1981]

So did you have to make a second ORR application and inspection for the new tmetable period as we were told you would?

 

[adambro]

Is the service really going to commence on Sunday? I'm aware of no official announcement which surprises me because otherwise how is anyone going to know it is available.

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

No to both djw1981 and adambro!!
Service *could* start Monday, depending on staff training and the set being presentable!

There will no doubt be a full press launch in the new year, possibly when we have all three sets and are able to run the full timetable.#
Watch this space!

The set did look very presentable to me earlier this week. Just need to move all the spare HVV and your bags from the seats :razz:

 

[adambro]

Whenever the services starts, the train is going to be somewhat quiet if no announcement is made prior.
