All the usual suspects yes. I got the original post wrong. It should of read excluding all freight operators.

Now which TOC's had "guest units" running to and from Doncaster?

 

[Simming]

Northern using Silverlinks 321407 on donny leeds shuttles

Northern using Silverlinks 321407 on donny leeds shuttles

That's one of the "guest units". What was working a Doncaster - Hull service?

 

[Simming]

Central 158?

 

[Donny Dave]

Nope. Right class though

ex-NW 158

Scotrail 158 Which is on hire

(158741 I think)

Correct

158741 is on hire to TPX, but it was working a Northern Trains service today :?

Both TPE and Northern 158s sharing it at Heaton?

Silverlink and scotrail.

However I don't think either TOC owns these units. Very few TOCs own any trains, the vast majority (ie almost all) are leased from ROSCOs. When they go off-lease the ROSCO won't arrange for them to be repainted unless another TOC requests it.

Slightly off topic, but when I was at York with 6233 about 2 weeks after the Great Gathering, and I saw:
GNER
Virgin Trains
Northern Belle
Not much really, but what can you see when you're in a shed in the NRM?
