This is borderline a wild speculation, but with the review of phase 2b could it be possible that phase 2b could build from church fenton to M1 colton junction in the short term. And then in 2035 - 2040 the HS2 phase 2b route from the south of leeds can connect to the already built route??

The class 88s would only be useful maybe in 5-7 years time when/if the transpennine route gets electrified in order to replace the 68s. Maybe they could do a bit of tweeking so that they are able to reach 125mph. Then the 802s will move to Middlesborough and Scarborough routes.
I have a question. (My bad if its been said somewhere). I know that the Class 801s have an emergency power pack engine which reaches speeds of 30mph.
However, Does anybody know the Range of the power pack as well as the horsepower.
The bus route quietly got reduced from 10 minutes to 12 minutes during a normal weekday from around summer 2019.
However, another consultation with the WYCA (not really relating to the service 42 consultation) focused on building a bus lane on beckett street, where the bus usually suffers...
Cross Country has some MK3 carriages which are slam door too, i'm pretty sure.
And it is not confirmed when they will be replaced
(Maybe around 2023 by the class 221s from Avanti)
