XC HSTs

[mrcheek]

Im sure this is posted somewhere, but I cant find it...

Does anybody know which XC services are currently HSTs?

Are they running the planned 4 sets yet, or still just 2?

How many first class coaches are there?

and does anybody know if any XC services still call at Weston-super-Mare? I know they were supposed to be ending, but its still shown on the destimations map!

Not got the details of diagrams and such like with me, but I believe at least two sets are in operation, although I'm rarely on AXC to find out.

Weston-super-Mare still gets served by (at the very minimum) a Newcastle to Weston-super-Mare service, leaves Newcastle around 1620 I think (not got the timetable with me to check and NXEC Wi-Fi's on go-slow so it would take too long for me to look. WSM gets served considerably more in the summer by AXC, surprise surprise when there's a bigger demand for it.

As for First Class provision, this is in the form of coach A and half of coach B (the buffet car).

There are no Newcastle - WSM services, that was the old timetable. The 0659, 1405 Paignton - Manchester Piccadilly both serve WestonSM. Got a feeling there is only one down working, the 1114 Bristol - Paignton (ex Manchester)

HSTs are:
North:
1221 Plymouth - Edinburgh: Bristol 1430
1321 Plymouth - Edinburgh: Bristol 1530
1521 Plymouth - Leeds: Bristol 1730
1721 Plymouth - Leeds: Bristol 1930

South
0600 Leeds - Plymouth: Bristol 0944
0632 York - Plymouth: Bristol 1044
0608 Edinburgh - Plymouth: Bristol 1244
0632 Dundee - Plymouth: Bristol 1444

Hmm, I could have sworn that there was still a Newcastle to Weston-super-Mare service, I'll have to have a look tomorrow when I get home and see what I find. I'm sure it's in FGW's TT E.

None of the Plymouth/Penzance service at (xx30) Bristol heading north call at Weston SM, and xx44 south which all originate from the North East

The xx00 which some do call at Weston all go/come from Manchester.

Ah, could be an error in reading the timetable then this end, I have a very slim recollection of seeing that now.
