Not sure that this is the correct place to post but Northern Rail appear to have hired a LNER HST Set to shuttle between Leeds & Harrogate whilst the UCI World Cycling Championships are on between 21st & 29th September 2019

Just had a quick google- LNER are laying on Azuma’s from Leeds to Harrogate generally leaving Leeds hourly from 11:46- this will give 4tph Leeds- Harrogate
While on Sundays they will leave 2 trains half hour behind one another followed by an hours gap then repeat. Roughly 3tph Leeds to Harrogate

I suspect this is the same services I referred to although my Northern Contact indicated it was an HST

Unfortunately today was the last pre-planned usage of 43061 & NL65 set on LNER services.

43075 has already gone, due to alternator issues.

43061/NL65/43312 worked:

1A15 0805 LDS - KGX
1D11 1103 KGX - LDS
1A34 1405 LDS - KGX
1D23 1705 KGX - LDS

As a small goodbye bonus, 1D23 was diverted on to the Down Slow 2 between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace, due to a reported track defect on the Down Fast.

Thanks for the update, Dan. So the 16th is the last day then, with two diagrams?

The 16th December is the first weekday without the HSTs. The last weekday for the HSTs is the 13th December - not sure whether there will be any HSTs in service that weekend or not.

I assume that 1E15 will convert the following day, on 17 December since, like 1E11 and 1E13, it's formed of an incoming service from the previous day.

Think that’s mostly right except:

no date for Azuma conversion yet for 1A09 0715 LDS-KGX, goes to 91 on Dec 16.

1E09 0930 EDB-KGX goes to 91 on Dec 16 then Azuma on Jan 6th

1N87 1506 KGX-YRK, 1Y90 1802 YRK-KGX, 1D33 2133 KGX-LDS switch to Azuma on Dec 16th

I see 1E25 ended up getting into KGX 96 minutes late last night - a combination of the Leuchars diversion and then the problems between Durham and Darlington.

Only one Aberdeen - Kings Cross and return are worked by an Azuma at the moment, rest are still HSTs until the end of the week at least.

Thanks, that's very useful.

I don't suppose you know which diversions via Lincoln are HST this Saturday?

Good question! are the Azumas yet cleared for the diversionary route north south via Lincoln? I see some LNER services listed on real time trains passing Lincoln on saturday.

If you try and book a ticket on the lner website on a service (eg P'boro to Doncaster after the diversions eg after 12 noon sat) it tells you - as it usually does - what sort of rolling stock it is - I wonder how reliable this is ref the actual rolling stock then used on the day?

I saw a YouTube video a week or so back of a days diversions via Lincoln taken early November. Was mostly HSTs but at least one Azuma, I didn’t watch the whole thing...

But also just found a thread from back in Oct 2018, initially about Carlisle diversions, where a member posted that they were already cleared via Carlisle, Lincoln and a Cambridge at that time. That looks as if they were cleared relatively early.

using this method looks like an HST north bound of Peterborough at 12.26 and 13.48, not checked other times yet.

Some of the other diversions do look like Azumas however.

These don't seem to be showing on booking engines (LNER and National rail site) now. Wonder if that means they have been pulled, or if the sites just tell you to use the bus replacement service because it is (theoretically) quicker than the diverted trains?

The trains still show on Real Time Trains, just not listed on the LNER booking engine.

Probably because the RRBs are faster, can you not force it to show slower journeys?
