Hi all.
After looking around a few forums I have not been able to find 100% times for HST in the summer with XC (although if one fails I do understand a 22x will come to play), but from what I gather, is this planned to happen?

1S51 12:21 Plymouth - Glasgow C

1V46 06:32 York - Plymouth (12:50)
1S55 13:21 Plymouth - Edinburgh

1V50 06:08 Edinburgh - Plymouth (14:50)
1E63 15:21 Plymouth - Leeds

1V54 06:32 Dundee - Plymouth (16:50)
1E73 17:21 Plymouth - Leeds

1V64 13:07 Edinburgh - Plymouth (21:50)

1M93 13:47, Paignton - Manchester P
(East Coast HST on 29 May - 5 June & 17 July - 4 September only)

1V48 06:42, Newcastle - Penzance (15:47)
1M83 16:25, Penzance - Birmingham NS

1V54 07:00, Glasgow C - Newquay (18:45)
2P86 19:58, Newquay - Plymouth

1V58 09:00, Glasgow C - Penzance (20:49)
2C80 21:32, Penzance - Plymouth


Sundays (until 5th September)
2C64 09:05, Plymouth - Newquay (11:10)
1S55 11:35, Newquay - Edinburgh

1S43 10:21, Plymouth - Edinburgh

1V48 08:10, Leeds - Plymouth (14:50)
1E63 15:23, Plymouth - York

1V56 08:50, Edinburgh - Plymouth (17:50)
1E75 18:23, Plymouth - Leeds

I have seen posts saying the East Coast set will not happen and others saying it will happen. Just rather confusing. Hopefully some kind members will be able to shed some light.

Many thanks.

And according to some on WNXX there will be no hired in EC HSTs this year either.

Think this will be one of those wait and see if they appear or not!

I believe - but not sure, .docx is the file type for Word 2007 file formats.

As I have Word 07 I have no troubles opening it - I will save it as a 97-2003 document (.doc) and attach it for you.

Thanks for providing the gen guys! Gave me the opportunity to grab some decent mileage behind the two XC HSTs that were out yesterday.

For a bit of general info, the sets were 43321+43357, with carriage rake XC02, on the 07:00 Glasgow-Newquay, and 43207+43285 on the 09:27 Newquay to Dundee with carriage rake XC04. Both just about running to time as well (The southbound was 8 mins late leaving Brum)! However the air con was faulty in one of the TSOs on the northbound run, although it was still the busiest carriage of the train; you'd think people would perhaps relocate to one of the cooler carriages...

Looking forward to when all 4 diagrams are up and running later in the month, I've devised a set of moves to get myself some decent mileage with all the sets in service :)
