Progress on Avanti West Coast's 805/807s Hitachi AT300 sets

[800001]

When was it seen outside?

3rd August is my earliest sighting of it!
008 was seen before 005.
005 first appeared outside 23rd October.

Apologies that this has probably been asked to death but are the diagrams the same as when they were introduced?

Pretty much, there’s an 807 diagram starting on the 11th November (according to Facebook) though which includes the 17:05 Euston-Blackpool AFAIK (if the booking engine is anything to go by)

It appears the 807 will have Standard Premium in the "First" half of coach H, a very good idea for people who book a 390 and it gets changed.

Looking at the platforming on RTT that seems to be a single run:

5P94 Wembley CSD to Euston Platform 14 arr 1626

1P94 Euston P14 dep 1705 to Blackpool P2 arr 2000

5G94 Blackpool P2 dep 2105 to Oxley CSD

1P94 Euston P14 dep 1705 to Blackpool P2 arr 2000

5G94 Blackpool P2 dep 2105 to Oxley CSD

I think it actually will begin and end at Oxley with (possibly) the following diagram

5R28 07:36 Oxley to Birmingham New Street 08:07
1R28 08:21 Birmingham New Street to Euston 09:54
5R28 10:19 Euston to Wembley 10:35

and then as above

 

[Tilting007]

I see there is plenty of 807 activity this week.
One from Merchant’s Park to Wembley and others between Oxley and Wembley via Stafford and / or Crewe.

Paul Lucas tweeted yesterday that he saw an 807 at Stafford last night, heading to Liverpool.

There are 807s out most day on test/training runs.

 

[Chiltern006]

From Monday the 7:43 Euston to Liverpool is diagrammed to be an 807 (according to the booking engine anyways)

And 805007 is on 1D80 (is this it's first time in traffic?)

 

[norbitonflyer]

807004 is on 1R07 this morning

If I've traced it correctly through the platforming information on RTT, it would then form
1F14 0843 Euston-Liverpool
1A34 1143 Liverpool-Euston
1H69 1433 Euston-Manchester
1A66 1715 Manchester-Euston
1H41 1953 Euston-Manchester.

However, although 1A34 and 1H69 are both scheduled to use platform 12 at Euston, 1H69 and the two after it are pathed for a 390, not an 80x, so there may be a platform swap at some point.

I didn't think 807s were working Manchester Piccadilly services

Som much for that then. 1f14 is now shown as a Pendolino 390128, and simultaneously passing Watford on time, and cancelled!

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Is there a shortage of 805s today? The 221s seem far more active today than usual.

The following are in use today:/

805001+805011 working 9G26 Euston to Birmingham

805007+805012 working 1A26 Holyhead to Euston

805008 1D86 Euston to Chester

805010 3P82 Northampton to Lancaster

Those are the only units are can find on RTT.

Yes, so definitely more 221s substituting for 805s than normal today.

3A92 arrives into Euston at 14:59 - platform "MS2". What does MS2 mean I wonder ?.
Subsequent departure is also from MS2.

 

[Bletchleyite]

3A92 arrives into Euston at 14:59 - platform "MS2". What does MS2 mean I wonder ?.
Subsequent departure is also from MS2.

Expect it'll be one of the non-platform tracks between 15 and 16.

Edit: MS = middle siding, probably.

Middle Siding 2. One of the two former run-round loops between platforms 15 and 16.

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Expect it'll be one of the non-platform tracks between 15 and 16.

Probably easier boarding that train than one on any of the actual platforms, knowing Euston

You've missed 805013 which is with 805008 on 1A50/1D91

Wasn’t showing on RTT when I posted!!

 

[DaveyJones]

9G26/1A26/1A50 are all the Passenger Trains, the rest are the Test/Training trains.
