Missing Grand Central stock

[ST PADDY]

Can anyone please help me. I am looking as to where the stock for the 1022 Grand central service from Bradford to London comes from. There are two services that arrive at Bradford but only one seems to stable over night in Bradford I have been through Bradford on few occasions and only seen one set stabled there. ny help would be appreciated thanks .

According to Open Train Times, it's the same as the 0651, from Crofton Depot

The two SX diagrams out of Bradford (both 180s) under the current timetables are as follows:

5A59 0433 Crofton Depot - Bradford Interchange 0542
1A59 0651 Bradford Interchange - London Kings Cross 1010
1D71 1048 London Kings Cross - Bradford Interchange 1355
1A67 1537 Bradford Interchange - London Kings Cross 1905
1D95 1952 London Kings Cross - Bradford Interchange 2242
5D95 2344 Bradford Interchange - Crofton Depot 0104

5A63 0840 Crofton Depot - Bradford Interchange 0952
1A63 1022 Bradford Interchange - London Kings Cross 1343
1D73 1448 London Kings Cross - Bradford Interchange 1755
5D73 1823 Bradford Interchange - Crofton Depot 1932

There will be an additional diagram for the 4th path this coming December:

5A70 0611 Crofton Depot - Bradford Interchange 0725
1A70 0752 Bradford Interchange - London Kings Cross 1115
5A70 1126 London Kings Cross - Bounds Green T&RSMD 1200
5D81 1525 Bounds Green T&RSMD - London Kings Cross 1538
1D81 1603 London Kings Cross - Bradford Interchange 1855
5D81 2045 Bradford Interchange - Crofton Depot 2158

All times are available on Realtime Trains.

Both sets go back to Crofton Sunday - Friday nights but on a Saturday both sets stable at Interchange due to there having been issues getting late night paths due to weekend engineering. Generally one set sits on the Loco Release Line and one on the Wall Sidings. Hope that helps!

Would you happen to have the diagram for the class 180 that does both London Kings cross to sunderland and Bradford?

 

[Suraggu]

The new Bradford diagram is rather interesting. That will be fun for the Crew.

One set a week is normally rotated between routes as follows on a Saturday:

XRF - XHT Diagram
5A59 0433 Crofton Depot - Bradford Interchange 0542
1A59 0651 Bradford Interchange - London Kings Cross 1010
1D71 1048 London Kings Cross - Bradford Interchange 1355
1A67 1522 Bradford Interchange - London Kings Cross 1845
1N96 1912 London Kings Cross - Sunderland 2236
5N96 2243 Sunderland - Heaton T&RSMD 2321

XHT - XRF Diagram
5A60 0603 Heaton T&RSMD - Sunderland 0636
1A60 0643 Sunderland - London Kings Cross 1015
1N92 1120 London Kings Cross - Sunderland 1450
5N92 1455 Sunderland - Ryhope Grange 1501
5A68 1514 Ryhope Grange - Sunderland 1525
1A68 1529 Sunderland - London Kings Cross 1853
1D75 1923 London Kings Cross - Bradford Interchange 2221
Shunt to Wall Sidings or Loco Release Line to stable

(Details on RealTime Trains)

If maintenance requirements are such that a swap must take place mid-week, 1A60 (ex-XHT) tends to pick up 1D71 to end XRF, with 1A59 (ex-XRF) working 1N92 and ending on XHT.

At present there are two SX 180 diagrams off XHT, one HST diagram off XHT and one HST diagram starting XFD. If anybody wants the full diagrams I will happily post them!

(For those who don't know XHT = Heatonn, XRF = Crofton and XFD = Ferme Park)

The new Bradford diagram is rather interesting. That will be fun for the Crew.

The crew won't be staying with the stock as far as I'm aware...the traincrew diagrams aren't as simple!

Will feel sorry for the Bradford Lot if they have what little time at KgX to jump onto the Sunderland without a break.

That would be far too risky time-wise in case of late running on 1A70!

Agreed when I was at AXC we had a 9 min change at Brum.... Never made it ever.
