Scheduled passenger trains through Toton TMD

[Intercity 225]

Hi,

Are there currently any scheduled passenger services that run through Toton TMD? The last time I was able to travel through it during daylight hours was a few years ago and I'd like to revisit.

Thanks

There are a few, some ECS, mostly morning and night. Suggest you look up "Toton Centre" on Real Time Trains which should give you a picture. I've just had a look myself. Select EMT trains.

1012 & 1512 Nottingham to Leeds run via Toton on a Sunday.

Assuming you mean running past Toton TMD rather than through it, there have been diversions of trains on Sundays between Derby and Chesterfield that way for the last few Sundays of which the last was yesterday.

Trent East Junction - Toton Centre (53) CJ03
Saturdays:
1E34 0556 Derby - Newcastle
1C90 2320 Sheffield - Derby
Sundays:
1C90 2236 Sheffield - Derby

Attenborough Junction - Toton Centre (53) CJ03
Mondays to Saturdays:
1Y60 2043 SO, 1Y64 2114 SX Nottingham - Sheffield
1L20 2137 Liverpool Lime Street - Nottingham

So the best chance to view it in daylight will probably be the two services Adam mentioned, unless on diversion

1E34 and 1Y03 aren't far off being in daylight if they aren't already. Its British Summer Time now you know.

Does it offer a decent view of the stored locos travelling via Toton centre? I dont know the area well enough to know exactly which route it takes!

Last week they would have gone through after sunrise.
BST makes it darker in the morning, so for the next few weeks they'll be going through before sunrise.

wait for a diversion between Chesterfield and Derby. I was recently treated to a surprise run that way via an XC HST, which was nice.

Thanks for the replies. The last time I travelled through there was on the last Northern service of the day from Nottingham during the peak of winter and it was pitch black - I was so disappointed! Good to hear that there's some during daylight hours - looking forward to travelling past/through there again soon.
