Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows which Great Northern services from Kings Lynn/Cambridge to London KGX are worked by 700s instead of the normal 387s? Also which units do they have on loan from other TOC's? Any info is appreciated as I am currently creating a scenario for Train Simulator on this route and I'm not familiar with the current diagrams. Thank you!

I would also be interested to know the diagrams the 700's operate on (so I can avoid them)

For interest what is your description of other operators 387s

My understanding is.
1x GatEx liveried
3x GWR
6x Ex C2C units

But I am not sure if the GWR units are actually permentently allocated to GTR - I know someone will respond. My understanding is the ex C2C units are.

There was a thread on this a while ago.

This is what the 700s do on the GN side, Mondays to Fridays. The first four are 700/0, the last one is 700/1. Everything else is 387s. I haven't got weekends to hand ATM.

I will take a search, I think it was actaully one of the timetable ones now you mention it. I take a note of everytime a 700 turns up to try and get the train either side of it when possible. They do strange things at time. It is normal that they do an express Cambridge and then return on a slow Cambridge / Letchworth. But a few exception exist which manage to keep a few 700s away from the Ely / Kings Lynn services.

Haha me too I hate the 700s :D and yes, these operators were the ones I was wondering about, I just wasn't sure how many there were currently operating for GN.

And also, I just found out that the GWR/C2C units are staying until the GN fleet have had their ERTMS fitted on all 29 units. Not sure about the Gatwick Express one. Thanks for the info.
