Hull Trains unit stabled at Doncaster

[trawler]

Is it normal for a Hull Trains unit to be stabled at Doncaster as was the case today?

Is it in platform 7 or somewhere else?

It's in 2 way goods, at least it was when I got back around quarter past 8

A 2 seconds search of RTT shows 802302 worked 5Z90 Hull to Doncaster 2 ways goods line.
It could be there for any number of reasons.
It could be required on Doncaster IEP depot , could be a training run etc

The units don't normally go to Doncaster IEP as they are based at Bounds Green. Generally there is only room for 3 units to be stabled at Hull (Which is the case most days including this evening). I wonder if it is something to do with the Industrial Action. Just checked that it comes back to Hull tomorrow morning.

There is a possession of Platforms 4 and 5 at Paragon Station tonight, so we cant accommodate the usual 4th unit which has been coming in around 0030, as the block starts at 0015, so it is stabled at Doncaster, and will come ecs to form 5A93 up to Beverley later today! I've attached my layover sheet for tonight

Thank you. The additional siding next to wash by-pass is well needed.

The Stores road! Its still connected and signalled! Track is not bolted to sleepers though! Judging by how long it took us to get Platform 1 back, we are not living in hope! Also, in the jungle on the left opposite Paragon box there are a couple of sidings under that lot!

It is included in the latest tender for improvements to BG (Along with under frame wash end of Road 1). £5m investment and tender awarded.

I've also flagged the jungle but apparently it is regarded as too close to housing. I've suggested signals altered on D & E road to accommodate 10 car HT units but told that might be big expense.

Am I right in saying that there are usually 13 Northern, 3 TPT and 3 HT stabled in Hull most nights? Plus whatever is at BG?
