Are you sure Hull Trains 802s have been to Aycliffe? Why was that?

There is a regular morning working from York to Bridlington and return M-F, not sure about saturdays though. Usually 155s on this route.

3 of the damaged coaches have been reported as sent back to Japan.

Probably its on its way to Worksop. Wd love to have full list of the 2 car sections stored there. Saw a few there in mid Nov so guess there are more there now.

Thanks for that info re: journey times from Bradford to Hull. Of course if you were tempted to use TPE from Hull to Leeds or return the 14 min cd easily become 60+14 and possibly more!

But wet indeed on the GWR 143 last week that was hit by a giant wave at Dawlish!!

Interestingly Hull to Bradford and Halifax doesnt get the Northern Connect label. Why ever not? It links two big conurbations in Yorkshire that havent been connected for decades. Uses 170s too-good quality units. The route needs publicising more.

One of the few pacers that I never saw on the Hull to Brid line. Unless someone knows differently!! 142057 and 142062 also not seen on the branch.

Was it 142014?

Though 156s were in Hampshire area in late 1980s when many were drafted on to the Cardiff and Bristol to Portsmouth service to temporarily replace 155s that had door problems.

A key point that you make regarding Windows. Pacers give a far better view than not just the 150s but 156s and 158s, especially if you get a seat towards the middle of the train.It depends I guess on what you want if you travel but for me looking out and taking in the scenery, rural or...

The trouble with this Hull to Halifax service is that if it is running late there is a good chance of it being turned around at Bradford instead of Halifax. Potentially it is very useful service to passengers in East Yorks and Hull who can use it to avoid TPE services. Im told there are some...

802301 302 and 303 have been covering diagrams this week from KX to Hull and Beverley.

IIRC there was a shortlived container service from Warrington Arpley to Immingham in the later 1990s but it didnt last too long. Used to pass through Barnetby early afternoon? It was 56 hauled.

Yes we have been very lucky on the Scarboro to Hull line compared to the rest of the Northern network!

Thankfully contrary to rumours before timetable change 170s are working the Scarboro to Sheffield services. Worry atm is that they have very tight turnaround times at both ends. Far superior to 158s that used to dominate on the route. Some do work to Halifax but dont know diagrams.

Since when did the London North Eastern KX to Inverness run via Aberdeen and Elgin??

Re Crossgates. I wonder if the through line(s) cd be reinstated to allow for overtaking? Probably not enough to increase paths though.

By "them" I actually meant the services themselves. I've been affected by cancellations a couple of times myself. But I take your point regarding other interpretation

This is a service that was so successfully built up and has now gone to pot. The Leeds to Lincoln service is the same. Vital services that must run but can anybody trust them??
