Hi guys,

I want to ride a HST from St Pancras to Leeds but the timetables don't say what services are HST anymore. Does anyone know the current HST diagrams for EMR?

Every EMR London to Leeds (and vice versa) service is an HST I think

Most of the time when there are engineering works/timetable changes ect the timetable that is put online wont show HST/MER but all the Leeds services will be a HST as posted above.

It will be either this coming Friday or the weekend. Thanks.
Friday would probably be your best bet. Looking at realtimetrains.co.uk and the EMR website the London trains are only going between Leicester and Nottingham/Sheffield next weekend due to engineering works. This normally means only 222's are out but there looks to be a Leeds service on Sunday which would be a HST.

Yes I will go Friday as weekends are too unreliable. There is a direct service to Leeds Friday evening, I assume that is a HST

Last time I got a Leeds train from STP it was a 222, but was swapped at Derby. This is quite unusual though and an alternative to cancelling the service.

IF MML blocked south of Leicester I wonder if this will result in an HST being routed into / out of Grantham to take displaced numbers across to ECML as happened a few weekends ago when the DMUs on the route got very crowded and it created potential social distancing problems?

No idea. RealTimeTrains is still showing them as the working timetable but this weekends timetables are not on the EMR website yet.

I remember last year asking EMR (when EMT) about the Leeds service. They said basically "The Leeds services have to be formed of an HST as Nevile Hill depot (Leeds that is) does not have the facilities to maintain our Class 222 fleet".

The £1000 question is why did you ask a TOC a question like that :lol:

That would help if I said why, yes - originally I was going to Leeds in late April 2019 but arriving at around midnight and one of the train trips at that point would have been the 22:48 from Derby to Leeds. However I was persuaded to go earlier in the day (had some common sense put into me). I went on the 04/04/19 instead :).

I've been considering doing a trip on an EMR HST this coming weekend too... in case it's the last weekend this year that the weather's nice and I've got the opportunity, and who knows if they'll still be around next summer.

The Leicester / engineering works thing is a bit of a pain.

Is it a reasonable bet that Leicester-Nottingham services will be HST?

In the past when services have terminated at Leicester it has just been 222s out but looking at Sunday with one service to/from Leeds there may be one or two HSTs out then.

Thanks. Weekend may not be a very good plan then.

I believe everything is booked 222 on Saturday, except the Skegness, but willing to be corrected.

Current EMR HST diagrams-SX
Does anyone know if these HST Diagrams will be correct in the 1st week of October. I am looking to travel from STP to Nottingham 01-05 Oct and would like a 125 if possible.

These will change this weekend with the timetable uplift and more HST's will run. Largely they will remain on the xx34 departures from London to Nottingham during the week.

Does anyone have any inside information on when the full first class menu catering service returns to EMR now the full timetable is back? Currently there is still no catering except for a small bag.

The question has been answered here only this morning in this thread

Not sure whether it was the powercars (ex. LNER) or the coaches (original EMT/EMR), but yesterday's 14:34 from Leeds to St. Pancras was very jerky when taking power. It was as if the engines were throttling up and down, with five to six big jolts every time power was took (it wasn't wheelslip AFAIK).

pretty much the same - fast Nottm trains are HSTs - a few thru / from leeds at start and end of day.

PDF timetable on EMR website indicates which ones are HST, usually reasonably relaible
