Sheffield-London Capacity from December

[Edvid]

If indeed the Sheffield and Corby services share diagrams, and the Pioneers are allocated to Corby services, then does that mean...that we might even see 4-car formations to Sheffield?!? If not, what services will they be diagrammed for?

(P.S. Since Meridians are labelled 2220xx, does that make them 222/0s? Or are they 222/4s and 222/9s, as TheRailwayCentre.com seem to believe?)

 

[222001]

Perhaps the arrival of the 222s from Hull Trains (if they do arrive) will mean that the Sheffield and Corby diagrams no longer have to share???

As far as I know 222001-222023 are 222/0s and 222101-222104 are 222/1s. I think 222/4 and 222/9 are just related to the length on delivery.

Some of the Corby services only go as far as Kettering

Because of lack of stock?

 

[gordonthemoron]

probably, or lack of paths (I was refering to southbound)

Surprised (but delighted) at the number of HSTs calling at Long Eaton in the evening as it is a short platform.

You say that, but many HSTs call/did call at Loughborough and that's a short platform.

It's not short. Just the health and safety wallahs have declared it's not up to code.
