New timetable - Boston Down Carriage Sidings

[Boston Poacher]

Does anyone have any clue whether 3 or 4 units stabling at Boston overnight is a regular thing from the new timetable now? 3 units stabled there last night but only 2 are out today, with 3 coming back this evening making 4 units stable overnight tonight.

Just curious as surely with EMR's shortage of trains one being unused in a siding during a day isn't the best thing either.

I see there's a 4-car stabling tonight, so lots at Boston overnight. I think on Friday + Monday at least the service is 2 + 2 - these are the big changeover dates at holiday camp. In past weeks there has been terrible overcrowding with buses on standby - not sure if actually used.

Should be 4 cars start of day off Boston on Monday, Friday and Saturday. How the arrangement to set that up is, I don't know.

Last train out of Nottingham to Boston on a Saturday (1945) is 2x158s which stable until Monday morning. Think one comes off Eastcroft to join the inbound from Skegness and off they go.
Skegness services are 2x158s Monday, Fridays and Saturdays from tomorrow.
