I had the pleasure of witnessing 1S51 running through Durham tonight, around 40 minutes late and in reverse formation relative to yesterday. No longer very busy as I suspect an earlier LNER service has taken some of its northern customers. Hopefully it seems to be safely on its way to Scotland...

I know the feeling... I always end up buying an on-the-day ticket 5 minutes before the train arrives when I can be almost sure it's not been swapped! No choice for me on Wednesday though so I'm really hoping 1V50 is HST or I may be in for a lot of travel-sickness...

Any idea why 43303 +XC03 + 43239 stayed at Craigentinny this morning? Presumably that will leave 2 HSTs there tonight and none at Neville Hill to run 1V44 tomorrow.

The loss of our beloved HST upsets me so much I published a poem about it; I won't bore you with the whole thing but perhaps you will enjoy the post-script (referencing the...

I signed up to this forum to say thank you to those of you who started this thread and have provided up-to-date HST diagrams. I've been using it for several months now and it's helped tremendously in enabling me to catch the remaining HSTs on my route between Worcester and Oxford. I've always...
