Almost... 1V62 would in fact have to be about 3 minutes late for them to actually cross at the bridge because it was a Sunday. On weekdays, the northbound/southbound long-distance services (so mostly Voyagers) do cross at Dunhampstead bridge at 32 minutes past each hour, but on a Sunday the northbound is scheduled about 3 minutes earlier. Unusually, both trains were (almost) on time, so they didn't quite cross, but it was still very pleasing to see one HST straight after the other - not a common event nowadays.

The first XC vehicle has gone for shredding. TS vehicle 42367 has left Laira on a low loader bound for Newport.

Sad times indeed, I know 42375 is also debranded and ready.
Basically, all of XC04 is being prepared to go.

Does anyone know about unit allocations for tomorrow / Friday about which units are operating?

Usual two sets are expected in traffic tomorrow*;
Set 1 - 43366 + XC05 + 43378
5V44 - XNL to LDS
1V44 - LDS to PLY
1S51 - PLY to GLC
5S51 - GLC to XCN
Set 2 - NOT ALLOCATED
5V50 - XCN to EDB
1V50 - EDB to PLY
1E63 - PLY to LDS
5G63 - LDS to XNL
*Set 2 is likely to be 43303 + XC03 + 43239 since it is at Craigentinny.

Thanks, so none of the repainted ones then? Any idea when they’ll be back out?

No repainted ones tomorrow. There *may* be a set swap tomorrow at Plymouth but these usually occur on Thursdays or Fridays.

Have I read somewhere this morning that a Voyager has come out on one of the planned HST diagrams?

This is why I'll cancel my half-day (on the day) if there are fewer sets out than planned.

1S51 as a result was also a four-car Voyager. Thank you @Tom and RTT for helping me avoid that one!

They did so very well, remember that! They couldn’t last forever, although it sometimes feels that they’ve already been around forever. Farewell old friends!

5 coaches instead of 7 again on the 06:06 Edinburgh to Plymouth 
Is that so? RTT shows it as HST, and indeed currently diverted between Bristol and Taunton via Westbury.5 coaches instead of 7 again on the 06:06 Edinburgh to Plymouth
Does anyone know what is intended for the return journey (1S51 - 1227 from Plymouth)?
That is 1V44 0611 LDS-PLY.
Oops yes sorry mixed up the two possibilities!
So 1V44 presumably really is HST.
My question remains - it won't now get to Plymouth until after it should return, so does anyone know what is intended?
Looks like it'll turn round at Newton Abbot.
Then run 1S51 as usual from there.
Thanks for that.
I'm on 1C76 (1004 from Paddington) intending to intercept it at Totnes - I'll keep a watch.

Lovely picture! I was there myself not long ago, going HST there and back and a 150 to Paignton. Very pleasant.

A previous post advised that on the last Saturday 1v44 is the only HST. From RTT it appears that it goes empty to Laira so am I right in thinking that Friday is the normal 2 diagrams, Saturday just the 1 southbound, Sunday nothing and Monday Edinburgh out and then back to Leeds but via Westbury

It did, and it did. And it was reverse formed to normal, but no-one told the CIS and announcer at Sheffield... RTT was right though.

On the last day of service will the last service be 1E63 or 1E73? Apologies of this was asked above.
