Avanti extras 01/08

[Peter0124]

Avanti appear to be running a STP return between London and Glasgow (with stops) on the 1st of August. Does anyone know why? Thanks

Surprisingly, 1S00 (The NB Euston - Glasgow) only has a stop at Watford Junction (Pick-up), all stood afterwards until Glasgow C are unadvertised.

It used to be quite common to provide "relief" trains when services were busy, especially during the Summer. These used to run about 10 minutes ahead of the advertised service.
Perhaps 1S00 is a relief for 1S48. It leaves Euston 27 minutes ahead but gets overtaken by 1S48 at Carlisle, arriving 11 minutes later.

Indeed. A few decades ago I was waiting for "The Clansman" and the relief turned up around 10 minutes before. I got a whole compartment to myself!

I believe they are private charters.

The return working at 14.55 from Glasgow is on Avanti app etc, so think the 09.03 Eus-Glasgow maybe open to public even though shown as un advertised express. This service is 5hrs 10mins timing, but its 390 and booked at up to 125mph, and it has no booked stops from Watford to Glasgow, so could run early if gets good run, half tempted to go travel on this service.E

if this train is a charter its a bit weird as the 390 which operate this service then forms 14.55 back to Euston, but if it is a charter then who is chartering this train? As i may look to book on This service.
