Which 180's are going back to First Great Western?

[DesiroDom]

Because I wish to go on a GC one when I go to Northallerton tommorow

No GC ones are going. Only ones previously used by northern or off-lease.

Aren't GC 180s used exclusively on the Bradford service?

 

[Nym]

No, but the Bradford service exclusively uses 180s... (Confused?)

To add a further level of confusion: GC have subleased a 180 to HT and GC have taken a short term loan on a 180 that will go to FGW.

Some have appeared on the Sunderland service.

i was under the impression that GC had subleased a unit to FHT, and the FGW 180 that GC are using is to provide cover while the GC (and eventually all the 180s) are put through the overhaul and recieve the reliability upgrades.

and basically the merry go round of 180s at the moment is/was led the ROSCO who is pushing the overhaul/reliability upgrade programme

'Some'? You couldn't run the Sunderland service with just HSTs, there isn't enough is there? They are regulars on the Sunderland route

 

[GNERman]

Incorrect, three Sunderland diagrams, three HST's... has already been done...

West Riding is 180's throughout though...
