Strange GBRF Voyager move to Wembley purpose ?

[sad1e]

I have found that the 5Q88-91 paths tommorow are pathed as a Voyager down to Watford from Wolverhampton and then on to Wembley Receptions 1-7 and back.

Any ideas why these strange paths are running, what need is there for a voyager to be tested this far south when Avanti no longer uses them ?

Hi

This probably isn't a voyager, could be some other unit being tested by gbrf crew (although it could be and I could be wrong)

Timing load V for DMU schedules usually used to be class 220/221.

I think timing load is more about how the train is actually timed rather than what stock should be on it. Eg the timings in the schedule for this are best matched to a 220/221 for section running times. There aren't timing loads for every unit so a best guess is often used for creating suitable times for schedules
