Many thanks indeed for that. Interesting in particular to hear how the two roads at York are now operated differently.The physical infrastructure work at York depot is complete and the stop boards have been removed. Whether the associated paperwork to allow full use of the new facilities has been completed is another matter. To summarise the changes, in addition to the fuel roads (1 & 2) being made longer with additional fuel/C.E.T. points for the longer trains, the two roads are now operated differently. There was access to the stabling sidings from both fuel roads previously, however those sidings can now only be accessed from no.2 road (furthest from the 'main line'), no.1 road (next to the main line) is 'in and out' - there is no access to the sidings. Exactly how things will pan out when the new trains start using it, I am not aware yet.
Scarborough depot is a "work in progress" I think is the best way of putting it.
Thank you too for the update about the Scarborough Depot.
I think I’m right in saying that in the current timetable the last train into Scarborough is one that starts at York, presumably to avoid the need for overnight servicing at Scarborough. I guess too that with the initial diagrams likely to be booked off Longsight, Scarborough probably isn’t a priority at this stage.
