GC Formations

[GNERman]

I'm just wondering if anyone knows GC's formations with their HST's as i've got photos of them as six cars and i've seen photos as them being five cars.
The 6 car would be PC-TF-FO-TRBS-SO-SO-TSO-PC
And what do you think of the ORR's plan for extra GC trains and GU?

The 6 car would be PC-TF-FO-TRBS-SO-SO-TSO-PC

Surely it's just PC-TF-TF-TRSB-TS-TS-TS-PC?

How is a mk3 SO any different from a TSO?
Likewise TF and FO?

As in the stock that used to be LH?

I do believe they are no longer classified as TSO or whatever, more TF, TS,TRFB/whatever buffet code out of 1,000,000 there are and TGS.

I think it's only TGS, TS, TF, TRSB, TRFB, TRUK and TRUB, although, I'm not sure that there are actually any TRUKs and TRUBs left, i seem to remember seeing something about that, but I could be wrong.

I believe all the TRUKS and TRUBs are long gone, been converted to TS/TF stock or even used within the Royal Train. I forget exactly what went where and when myself.

Oh, and TRMB is another buffet code (Trailer Restaurant Miniature Buffet).

Yeah, I thought they were.

I wasn't aware of Mk3 TRMBs, I thought that was only Mk1s and 2s with RMBs?

I believe this one came about after GNER introduced their tiny buffet counters (or maybe it was FGW), not actually sure.

This is getting off topic a bit but quite interesting anyway! Don't forget Mk3 TCCs, Trailer Composite Catering, on XC sets.

Loads of shots of interesting coaching stock variants on there, if it floats your boat!!


Edit: That site does have images of Mk3a RMB - Restuarant Micro Buffets, seemingly only in use on GEML
