What was WCR Diesel train at York 03 July.?

[STEVIEBOY1]

I was at York station, yesterday, Friday 03 July and there was a charter train, operated by West Coast mark 1 ,2 & 3 carriages, about 11 coaches and T&T by diesels.

I just wondered what it was? It came from the Northern Direction and after pausing for about 5 minutes, headed off south.

It seemed to be completley first class dining. There seemed to be a real mix of rolling stock, all passenger carriages were Maroon and as well as the usual MK 1 & 2 coaches with top opening windows, there were some MK3 carriages too which don't have opening windows. I don't know if they would have Air-Con? There were two pullman livery kitchen cars with names from the Lake District along their sides.

It was a Saltburn to Weston-Super-Mare trip. It would have been a mixture of mark 1 and mark 2 coaches.

Oh Ok, are some of the Mark 2s more modern?

Yes West Coast have a mixture of non-aircon (mark 2As) and aircon which are slighty newer.

Although it had to deviate from booked path due to the issues at Moorthorpe, it would seem
