Timed as an HST at 110mph, so HST-110 timing load is presumably being used to provide a complete set of SRTs and not necessarily an indication of whether it will operate in electric or diesel.

That's just to get the paths in.
He's correct, it will be running on diesel.

Its a timing load thats close enough to make the path work. No one is going to work up a set of SRTs for a test run.
I didn't comment on the SRTs.

Doesn't matter, the path used whatever set of SRTs were considered sutiable. Someone could have timed it as a charter with a class 47 on the front if it did the job. If it was wired they could have used electric freight times if it was a right side failure even if it ran diesel.

You can of course run electric trains in diesel paths (looking at Freightliner).

Correct.
I believe approximately 7 per day, hopefully connecting into Thameslink services as they have the capacity to eat people. Last I heard the timings needed tweaking to achieve this as they would be dropping into an EMR Connect service which would already be busy.

They aren't running to London, only as far as Bedford.
I do believe you're now arguing with yourself.

The rest of the paths are now in as follows:
5Q12 0011 Bedford P1 to Bedford P3 via Bedford North Junction 0018
5Q13 0039 Bedford P3 to Bedford P2 via Bedford North Junction 0055
5Q14 0108 Bedford P2 to Wellinborough P3 to Kettering P2 0154
5Q15 0209 Kettering P2 to Leicester P1 (reversal just south of Kettering to swap to Down Fast, I'm unsure why Kettering North Jn is unavailable for DS -> DF?) 0240
5Q16 0251 Leicester P1 to Doncaster 0427
The southbound run that was already in (5Q11) covered Leicester P4, Kettering P1 and Wellinborough P4. With extended dwells I would assume some platform train interface testing/checks are taking place, things like making sure lamp posts aren't in the way of wheelchair ramps I guess?

Eventually the RTT schedules will be inaccessible to some people, so given that it hasn't been stated in this thread yet, the unit involved in the testing was 800104.
