I think the 125 Group needs to correct it's XC HST 2018 diagram sheet for from 8th October - a passenger told XC that on Saturday one of the services was half the coaches it should be. This was the 12:45 from York to Sheffield (09:00 Glasgow to Penzance service) which XC say it was correctly formed (4 or 5-coach Voyager)!

In fact the XC HST Saturday diagrams on the 125 Group website were the summer Saturday ones.
Common sense though to use an HST on that Glasgow to Penzance service which would be an ideal service for passengers to get this train back from their holiday in Scotland / North East in the morning back towards Birmingham, Bristol and the South West. They'd arrive home for tea!

0900 from Glasgow has been HST operated at times , latterly on some Saturdays .

Plymouth doesn’t run on Fridays.

The only thing that bothers me is the big strip of metals and rivets above the door where they've sliced a bit away, and how the door is on a step. Other than that I imagine they may fool some folk....

Gave it a go today (couldn't do it on Friday as planned in the end). Nothing much to write home about other than it just looks a bit odd not seeing a droplight window!

Definitely weird! Was a shame as I wanted to get a photo of the sun rising on the East Coast

Does anyone know yet if the diagrams have been finalised for Saturday 5th January? In particular I am looking at Bristol-Birmingham in the evening. Thanks!

There's no engineering works, so it should be the 1225 PLY - GLC, and the 1625 PLY - LDS.

It’s 1725 plymouth to Leeds not 1625.

According to JourneyCheck (not in the exact words), the 12:25 from Plymouth to Glasgow is being run by 3 trains - a Voyager to Derby, an HST from Derby to Edinburgh then an HST. I know the first Voyager was due to a fault with an HST. To be honest I'm not sure why it's a Voyager from Edinburgh. The whole service may as well be a Voyager.

Hi they need that HST in Craigtinny urgently. As with a power car failure only one is being used. Good that Tyseley fixed one in working to allow it run as far as Edinburgh.

It’s not 3 cars it’s 4. Between Plymouth and derby then 7 cars hst between derby and Edinburgh. Voyager between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Due to power car failure.

Which power car failed? Was it 43384?

Mitchell Hurd · 19 Nov 2018

Right

- sorry I meant 3 trains altogether. Its great that XC and Tyseley fixed one so that passengers can enjoy up to nearly 4 and a hak

Mitchell Hurd · 19 Nov 2018

half hours (not hak - accidentally pressed reply, sorry!) in a 7-car train !

No 43301 and 43366 I presuming 43366 failed. As 43301 was leading.

Nothing can be done. They don’t have enough HSTs. The replacement 220010 it was. No reservations on this service.

The fault was wiper defects. The leading power car had a wiper fault at Wakefield Westgate, so train was diverted via Beighton. At Wilnecote the train then struck a pigeon which damaged the wiper arm on the other end of the train.

Nope Beighton is its name. Between Sheffield and Chesterfield, going out via Nunnery Main Line Junction.
