And yet again, an 805 works the EUS>LIV run with 805003 doing the honours!
It’s been at Wembley all along! Saw it a week or so ago.
807010 was observed at Wembley but parked up on the sidings unless it’s been shunted into the depot itself.
I’m Guessing the ones that Hinckley have unless they’re needed for the LC12/14/15/16 or the E200s/Solos from Telford.
As you mentioned that we’re getting E400MMCs, could they be the Ex-Southend 66 plate ones from Kent…
Yeah, could be. However, I’m sure we were supposed to get 4426/7/8/9/30 from Thurmaston to displace the last remaining Volvo B7s.
Withal, the X6 service changes won’t go ahead until January. For now, it’s a minor timetable change.
The January changes include and are rumoured to be;

I just thought it was going slightly faster than normal (around 115mph). Will download a speed app to justify my theory the next time I’m on an 805/807. But anyhow, I’m guessing that it’s not long till they reach their MU Speeds.
Also saw the MU Speed Signage at Bletchley as mentioned.
LOOP is to serve Dulverton Drive in Furzton, Rickley Lane, Magna Park (Crossley Drive) and will no longer serve Melrose Centre, Stadium MK and will instead serve MK1/ASDA/IKEA along Bletcham Way/Grafton Street
Did notice a difference in speed (was on 807004 today) as we left Watford Junction, we seemed to be going slightly faster than 110mph until we were held at Cheddington and Leighton Buzzard for a good few minutes due to a trespassing incident at Bletchley.
Yep, I did notice the MU speed signage. Apparently at Bletchley, 805/807s are permitted to do 120mph. Wonder when they’ll reach their top speed of 125mph…
