0556 Newcastle - Kings Cross HST

[ash39]

I'm on this at the moment but need to dash when I get off, can anyone confirm what power cars are on it?

Thanks

I presume by "new" you mean Newcastle (NCL) - in any case can you stick to using full station names rather than codes in thread titles please

just put Centre of the Universe and everyone will understand

Just thought it was pretty obvious. A hst to kings cross. Apologies, I tried to be clever using the station codes but erroneously thought Newcastle was NEW.

It's probably obvious to 99% of us to be honest, but the rule was introduced for good reason.

There were times when it was just confusing for everyone. For example, someone would come on the site looking for a cheap CrossCountry ticket from "BNS to YRK". Except the problem was that BNS isn't Birmingham New Street.

The power cars were 43311 and 43319.

To be fair, my initial reaction when I saw the thread was to think "Newark", it's entirely feasible to have a HST from there to Kings Cross. Anyway, not to worry - hopefully things have been cleared up for you now.

Thats a fair point jordy! Thanks sprinterguy, knew 319 was leading but didn't know what was on the rear.

Hmmmmm..........think i'm missing something here, how do you find out of the internet which power cars were on the the HST or did you see it ??

For potential confusion, consider someone requesting help for LLS to Norwich.

Without further clarification, very difficult to guess what LLS is supposed to stand for. This is one of the main reasons we ask that abbreviations are not used if possible (especially three-letter ones as they can cause confusion with CRS codes).

If you register with hstgen.co.uk they post up what is with what most days. It's useful if you only get one power car; by looking at the site you can work out what the other was.

For the record, NEW is Newcraighall.

Never understood how that code was available for a fairly modern station.
