Don't suppose anyone knows the HST workings this coming week? (W.C 18.8)
It was 20 and 23 when I saw it on Wednesday. They seem to be the regular pair and I don't think they've swapped since then....I'm not sure what the power cars were but it looked like the front one was 43023.

Yes. Appeared to be West Coast Railway at St Pancras.Surely the Hull Trains crews don't have route knowledge of the Midland Line, did they have conductor drivers?
the numbers 43023 43027It was 20 and 23 when I saw it on Wednesday. They seem to be the regular pair and I don't think they've swapped since then.
Out of interest if any drivers can answer, in the cab, how does route conducting work,does the conductor give continuous instructions, like any braking points, awkward sighted signals, next line speed increase or decrease etc? Is it very much just instructions given or does one chat normally? Is it more stressful than normal driving?.

There was a St Philips Marsh to Hull move this morning which only got as far as Westerleigh Jn before going back to St Phillips Marsh (after reversing at Chipping Sodbury). Anyone know why?

You mean a start date??Is an end date known, please?
It's not out unless there's an issue with one of the 180s which means it's unable to complete its diagram so it's not possible to tell whether the HST will be out unless there's a major fault (amongst many) with the remaining fleetwould anyone be able to say if the HSTs are out tomorrow please?
ah ok thank you for that info was worth asking anywayIt's not out unless there's an issue with one of the 180s which means it's unable to complete its diagram so it's not possible to tell whether the HST will be out unless there's a major fault (amongst many) with the remaining fleet
