How does 1X01 circumvent engineering possessions? Will Rail Replacement Sleighs be able to maintain WTT timings?

Does anyone know the reason for the set swap? Is the original set in need of attention at North Pole IEP (Intercity Express Presents) depot?

Looks like it's got to Watford Junction a little early! Not sure why Traksy shows 1X01 on Plat 11 while it's shown as plat 9 on RTT.

Image shows a screenshot from Traksy of Watford Junction, with 1X01 in Platform 11. Platforms 10-6 contain a Merry Christmas message and platfroms 4-1 show "STBL" (probably stabled LO units)

Looking at the data the signallers interposed 1X01 into plat 9 at 21:55 then moved it to plat 11 at 21:59 when they put the rest of the Christmas message in. I wonder if they put 1X01 becuase of the RTT special?

Surely, I can't think of any other reason.
Looks like Watford Junction's the only one to have a platform change.

I think the signallers are definitely having some fun, there's a few more on the stations near Watford Junction now

After the announcement early in the month of the GBR livery, we were discussing it at RTT Towers and jokingly thought that we could do a better job. So we asked our usual KYT designer to use their imagination and that is what they produced, in one evening.

We even have a suburban variant on a 387. :lol:
