    Stafford to Liverpool - where have all the trains gone ?

    I believe the Liverpool and Manchester Avanti’s were swapped in the Dec 2022 TT to allow Nuneaton to be regularly stopped at. MCR Warrior is right though, the capacity still exists from Crewe.

    Great Northern Fleet - 379s introduction

    Nothing confirmed. I wouldn’t trust any source until the TOC confirms it. It all depends on the 465 fleet and whether there is a need to bin the 465/9s and 466s since this will drive the requirement for 377 retention.

    Potential Grand Union stock?

    Looks like 125MPH stock is part of the pathing arrangements so no.

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    Does anyone have any updates on the status of these units? Are reliability/software faults still the root cause of the lack of driver training?

    Anyone know which XC HST services are dropped from May TT?
  14. XCTurbostar

    Which type of train still in service today will you miss most when they've all been withdrawn from use on the national network?

    Quite a lot of variety I see! I think the Chiltern Mk3s are very good but I’m also in the same boat as TT-ONR-NRN, the 390s are very good and it will be shame when they go especially since it’s likely they won’t be replaced with more tilting stock.

    Great Northern Fleet - 379s introduction

    Interesting that the tender states ‘100MPH’ when the 387s are 110MPH so I’d imagine this would not be able to keep GN timings? or is this negligible. I couldn’t help thinking this tender also fits the Renatus 321s.. minus the AC/DC part. It’s almost certain to be targeting the 379s.
