Hello

Am wondering if any body would be able to help me, am wondering if any one knows if the MK3 Set is still booked on the Friday night London to Preston service.

If, So are you able to let me know the trime it departs London.

Also, is it booked on any other services or just used as and when its needed.

Thanks for the help everyone, I would really love to go and see it at Preston if its still on that service.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, i know. I live in Blackpool so i would be able to see the set coming into Preston. I was at London Euston last Sunday for the Wembley final, however i had no luck. Not surprising its only on a firday.

I can't believe it's not replacing 390's at the moment, the fleet must be working ok

If there are 390's out of service, the Mk3 rake works the EUS-BHM route on a weekday.

The 1830 is the Glasgow service which overtakes the 1846 before Preston. you'll need to show slower services online. It gets to Preston at 2155 (so not quite sure who'd catch it when the Glasgow service gets in at 2038 and it doesn't pick up along the way).

New bit (ahem) - the *1930* (also to Glasgow) overtakes it and gets to Preston at 2144 - obviously the 1830 is going to get to Preston first!
