NXEC HSTs on Neville Hill

[Techniquest]

Copy-paste of my thread on WNXX, so apologies to anyone who's read it there as well:

Hi all,

I'm planning a bit of a bash up in West Yorkshire on Saturday 8th November prior to doing the Lincoln diversions. However, I've hit a wall or three with trying to plan the morning. Since I still need Harrogate and Skipton (not to mention Brough - Hull) on a HST and the East Coast Valentas are of an endangered status (three left by the time I get there), I wouldn't mind trying to get them in for the last time. Whether I'll have better luck this time round I don't know, but we'll see.

Anyway, the question is:

When HSTs arrive at Neville Hill, is there any minimum time they need to spend on the depot before being sent back into service? For example, I can't see the set off 5N19 being sent out for the ECS to Harrogate, what with only having a few hours on depot.

Obviously if all the power cars and stock need is an A exam and a good clean-up, then they won't need all night on depot, but I was of the impression it's first in, first out. Like I should think whatever comes in on 5H30 will be back out first.

I suppose the final part of this question would be what order would the stock come out in? Skipton, Harrogate then Hull?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Julian

Neville Hill are fairly happy at doing short turnarounds in honesty - I've heard of the same set coming onto NL at 0230 from 1D53 then leaving again at 0630 to do 1S03 up to Aberdeen again.

Hull always goes first as it goes via Doncaster this normally leaves at 0530 so means it probably wont be the set on 1D53 the night before, next out is Skipton, then the Bradford 91 then Harrogate finally the Aberdeen.
