East Coast Route Learning Query

[ultrabox]

Any reason why EC are/ have been conducting route learning on GN/GE Joint Line. I see that this appeared scheduled for tomorrow (13/05/2014) from Doncaster West Yard to Peterborough with a return.

Just a refresher isn't it, for when they do divert? The same happens on the Durham Coast, Ferryhill to Norton etc.

That should be the 'royal' 67 it's being used to assess drivers over the joint line as a few of us have been learning it recently. I am one of the drivers being assessed and shall be driving the return Peterbough-Doncaster trip.
