Tour de France Alterations

The 1035 Southampton XC was placed in front of it at York too.

On the flip side the DRS guard was convinced the 1703 EMT would be put in front of his delayed 1650 locohauled off Scarborough. The TP went first, and given the EMT is non stop to York it was repeatedly held and arrived 28 down in York.

How about Crosscountry's HSTs that are famously underused?

Three XC HSTs in use today. One spare at Edinburgh according to

In a way its a shame the 350/3s aren't all available as they could be deployed between Manchester and Scotland releasing 185s to strengthen across the Pennines rather than running to / from Scotland.

The 1013 Doncaster to Sheffield isn't much fun. A 2 car pacer turned up and I'd say c.150 people were left behind en route. Fair enough, Northern don't have unlimited resources but if I were a train planner I'd have been targeting this train.

The 11:13 was similar, though that was changed to terminate at Meadowhall. I caught the 11:30 Xc from Doncaster to Sheffield. ( the 11:13 was my connection on my ec advance ticket to Sheffield.)

I then got the tpe to man pic (empty west of Sheffield) so I could return on the 14:00 loco hauled service which had plenty of room on it.

What were the headcodes for the Liverpool to Scarborough and Scarborough to Liverpool Services?
