5V04? never heard of him, not a summer adex the summer ADEX starts at Bounds green - bristol, and is still a different headcode, anyway whatever it is my guess is....4 hours?

5V04? never heard of him, not a summer adex the summer ADEX starts at Bounds green - bristol, and is still a different headcode, anyway whatever it is my guess is....4 hours?

I'm in a happy mood today, so I'll take your answer. The actual answer is 4 Hours 8 minutes.

 

[heart-of-wessex]

yey what is 5v04 then, never heard of such!

 

[Julian G]

yey what is 5v04 then, never heard of such!

i think that's the MML HST for the Summer Saturday trains?

 

[heart-of-wessex]

hmm its not in my summer ADEX diagram list...and theres not one that starts from BTM apart from the Bounds Green one

 

[clagmonster]

The last Cross Country HST has not yet run as the summer Saturday adexes are run by the Cross Country franchise and are therefore Cross Country HSTs, even so they are hired in from another operator. Therefore the answer to that question is sometime in the future.

 

[Guinness]

True but I want the last HSTs to be published in the proper timetable! :P
