Remaining LNER HST Services

Updated in quote to show power car allocations for those who are interested - all services booked to be HST worked to day are HSTs as booked

 

LNER HST workings Sunday 1st December:

These workings are correct to the best of my knowledge, and will apply on Sunday 1st December only:
07:54 Newcastle - Kings Cross (diverted via Lincoln)
08:55 Newcastle - Kings Cross (diverted via Lincoln)
09:10 Edinburgh - Aberdeen
09:30 Edinburgh - Kings Cross
09:40 Inverness - Kings Cross
09:47 Aberdeen - Kings Cross
11:20 Edinburgh - Kings Cross
11:47 Aberdeen - Kings Cross
12:00 Kings Cross - Inverness
12:33 Kings Cross - Leeds
13:47 Aberdeen - Kings Cross
14:00 Kings Cross - Aberdeen
15:00 Kings Cross - Edinburgh
17:00 Kings Cross - Edinburgh
17:47 Leeds - Kings Cross
18:03 Kings Cross - Harrogate
19:00 Kings Cross - Edinburgh
19:35 Kings Cross - Leeds
20:00 Edinburgh - Leeds
21:00 Kings Cross - Newcastle
22:35 Kings Cross - Leeds (diverted via Knottingley)

As usual, on the day problems could result in services being covered by Azumas or 91s, but these are all booked to be HSTs.

The 08:55 from Newcastle - Kings Cross as things currently stand should be the last passenger HST to divert via Gainsborough and Lincoln.

 

Thanks - that's nice to see. I had a good run on 1E11, only marred by heavy mist south of Lincoln reducing the views. Nice to see a fair few linesiders observing the trains too!

 

When will next Saturday’s diagrams be released?

Thanks, Pudsey Bear

 

are there diversions next weekend (7th / 8th)?

 

Question: I am looking at getting the 1003 Kings Cross to Doncaster on Thursday 5th December. Is that still an HST? I suspect that will be my last run on one up the ECML

 

Post 69 in the thread suggests it should be (but I expect you already checked that!)

 

I, erm, didn't check that! I was going off my last work trip up that way.

Looking at the LNER booking site it tells me which trains are Azuma so they can be avoided

 

Update 02/12.

The following services have converted to Azuma operation today:
1Y08 05:40 Sunderland - Kings Cross
1B81 07:30 Lincoln - Kings Cross
1W11 10:00 Kings Cross - Aberdeen
1E25 14:52 Aberdeen - Kings Cross
1E30 18:18 Aberdeen - Leeds
1N33 20:00 Kings Cross - Sunderland

The following services were originally going to convert to Azuma operation today, but will now remain HST operated until at least next week, possibly until the 13th.
1W03 07:08 Leeds - Aberdeen
1E25 14:52 Aberdeen - Kings Cross
1D36 23:33 Kings Cross - Leeds

I'll post them later today

The Inverness services will divert via Kirkcaldy, but otherwise there aren't any diversions next weekend as far as I'm aware.

The 10:03 is one of the last services to convert to Azuma operation, so yes it'll still be a HST on the 5th.

 

Swwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!

When does it change over?

 

13th December should be the last day it's HST operated.

 

Thanks - I might get another run in then.

I await the Sunday 8th diagrams with baited breath

 

Many thanks for posting this information Dan.
Do you know why the 005 working did not convert to Azuma today?

 

Todays diagrams have gone out of the window as the overhead wires have come down just north of York. May have a knock on effect tomorrow too, so expect potentially quite a few cases of Azumas and 91s on services that should be HSTs and vice versa.

No idea I'm afraid.

 

More helpful info for which many thanks!

 

They've generally been more flexible over that on LNER than they have been on GWR. It is entirely possible that HSTs may end up on 800 booked services and vice versa tomorrow with sets being out of place tonight.

 

I await patiently

 

A few service alterations today following yesterday's disruption. 1A09 07:15 Leeds - Kings Cross and 1E09 09:30 Edinburgh - Kings Cross are both 91s instead of HSTs today, with 1Y11 06:30 Newcastle - Kings Cross and 1E08 09:00 Edinburgh - Kings Cross (starting from Newcastle) HSTs instead of 91s.

My apologies, totally forgot...

Will post them later today (and I'll try not to forget this time )

 

No worries, there’s going to be a lot of angry bears around Kings Cross if an 800 turns up instead of a HST

 

Off to Leeds on the 10th so hoping that the 10:03 ex KGX is an HST.

Is it right that the following week the HST will be down to 3 diagrams. (1200 London - Inverness the last one on Sunday north of Perth)

 

It is indeed

 

Thanks a lot Dan.
