1t99?

[Jdrowlands]

Does anybody know what 1T99 is? Or rather, was, as it's been cancelled!

Saw it on the Crewe live departures board, it's listed as being operated by 'Private Charter', running 16:45 COV-INV. It doesn't seem to be listed on any of the railtour websites either.

Anyone know more about it?

There's a couple:

1T99 1520 Coventry [COV] to Paris Nord [PBN]
Calling at: Banbury, Oxford, Reading.
This Train is operated by Private Charter.

1T99 1645 Coventry [COV] to Inverness [INV]
Calling at: Birmingham New Street, Wolverhampton, Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Crewe, Warrington Bank Quay, Wigan North Western, Preston, Lancaster, Oxenholme Lake District, Penrith.
This Train is operated by Private Charter.

Looks like somebody messing around with the CIS at Coventry to me!

Someone seems to be having fun, it has a UID to get uploaded properly so it could possibly be an demonstration and it went further downstream than it should.

I was stood at Leamington Spa, passport in hand, wanting to go to Paris this afternoon. After looking at the departure board, I quickly realised I had to get a Voyager down to Banbury and pick the Paris train up from there. Luckily I had arrived at LMS with a good 30 minutes to spare, so It just meant I had less time hanging around at Leamington Spa.

When I got to Banbury, I couldn't believe my eyes, when the Paris train was showing up as cancelled.. I couldn't (excuse my french) believe it..

I was at Stafford and wondered what the 19.02 to Inverness was all about and why it was cancelled.

I spotted it on the Stafford Live Departure Boards as well

It didn't show up on the station boards as well did it Mr Spock?

6 minutes from Warrington Bank Quay to Inverness would have been some going.

There was one the other week shown as a Eurostar service from Stafford to IBM Halt - that journey was timetabled as an hour or something!
