Cheers for that,will have to make a trip on it one day while its still loco hauled.

It is rumoured that it will change from the 1846 to the 1843, but nothing set in stone yet.

Also, it will be working on Thursdays after this Friday until the New year

The Rugby stop (at 1943) is no longer set down only. Good news for class 90 bashers.

There is also an 1843 Euston - Crewe via Birminghham.

Will the Euston-Crewe be a pendolino

Wouldn't make sense to have two 1843 departures. 1846 is valid on many off peak tickets, but the 1843 is not (depending on ticket held).

I doubt the 1843 is anything other than a Pendo, although I bet it's not well loaded as why would you pay sky high prices for the sake of 20 minutes (SOR £140, SVR £41.90) so a Voyager could probably cope. On the East Coast, they re-timed Hull Trains to to be the last train before the end of peak time, because their tiny trains could cope with that but not with the huge number of people wanting to travel 10 minutes later when they no longer had to take out a mortgage to afford the fare!

The 1843 is currently a 390 and always has been (as long as I have used it anyway). And it's always packed, at least EBW (not sure about Stafford & Crewe)

For those who enjoy a 90 to delightful places such as Warrington, Wigan and Preston (or over 200 miles a go), tomorrow will be the last opportunity to do so.

From next week, WB64 will take over the 1843 Euston-Crewe and the 1846 Euston-Preston will now be operated by a single 221 (which will be quite cosy if recent loadings is anything to go by). A bit of jigging has resulted in this and elsewhere a Pendolino becoming free to operate a new ThFO 1857 Euston-Manchester Piccadilly.

Will the set run the 1843 on FO or all week?

Interesting though as no longer will the 90 be running to a special slowed diagram.

Considering the 18.46 was usually well loaded including the declassified 1st section a single voyager will be rather unpleasant, well more unpleasant than usual.

The 90 will manage as long as she isnt held up. Just watch her go!!

Just FO. Obviously some variations during Bank Holiday periods.

Agree though with 1P05 going to a single 221, it's going to be a cosy one!

There's no reason why it should get held up. The 1843 service stops at MKC, the 1840 Manchester service before it doesn't stop until Crewe.
