Name EMT's business trains

[P156KWJ]

A chance for all to have a go at naming two new services being introduced in December operated by East Midlands Mainline - details at http://www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk/emtrains/aboutus/news/#{CA898FF4-77FC-4F25-9EF2-1F3D813E2882}

Note that the Master Cutler train will still be named so when the two new ones are introduced

I had a quick think and couldn't get any better than 'The Midland Executive'

 

[D306]

whats the prize?

Here is my suggesiton :
South Yorkshire Probation Service

I can see where you get The Midland Executive from as there used to be several such named Executive trains in the 1970s and 1980s (Newcastle, Leeds, etc)

whats the prize?

Keep HSTs on the Sheffields who cares about saving 2 seconds off the journey time express

 

[P156KWJ]

but I'm sure 222s aren't cleared for Nottingham-Lincoln? And they'd need to use HSTs for that so it'd be best to standardise the fleet diagrams (no it's not because I live where they are all going! (mostly ))

Hail All!
Here's a few off-the-bat (And fairly daft) suggestions from me, bearing in mind I havn't exactly woken up yet:

• The Midlands Flyer,
• The Sheffield Thrasher,
• The Helfire Express (Spelling intentional - Reference to a track by Necrophobic),
• A 370 would be quicker,
• My other train's a rail-replacement coach,
• The Stagecoach Dominator (Reference to Stagecoach not being happy with just SWT and a share in VWC)

One HST will be needed as it will only be 2 trains a day!

"Should have got an MTU"

'Should keep them to the South West, ECML and XC'

What a mouthful

Just reading that webpage it states "When this timetable is launched East Midlands Trains will continue to operate its popular named premier business train to London, ‘The Master Cutler’".

Might this mean the end of the Northbound train?

 

[me123]

Would be a bit pathetic to name a Meridian service over an HST service, but still more impressive than the "Gourock Executive".

Cutler will still run to Leeds so should hopefully be a HST.

 

[class 313]

Cutler will still run to Leeds so should hopefully be a HST.

It will be an HST because the diagram then runs to NH which don't maintain Meridians.

 

[djw1981]

Do you mean NL perchance.......

 

[1D53]

lol. NH don't maintain HST's either.

 

[P156KWJ]

"VP185 froth executive" "HST veg pullman"

 

[Ben]

The Its quicker from Donny. :P

 

[class 313]

lol. NH don't maintain HST's either.

Neville Hill don't keep Meridians then.

 

[1D53]
