Is this usually a Aberdeen service?

Must of been a while since XC HST been up past Dundee.
Yes, it is normally 1S45 09:27 Plymouth Aberdeen. However is running as 1Z45 11:35 Bristol TM - Dundee today due to an incident in the South West.

Have just been advised the HST is coming off at Edinburgh with a Voyager forward.

I'm planning on putting together a Class 43 round-trip as soon as Covid allows non essential travel. Reading the last months posts, it seems the XC HSTs work different diagrams each day? How far before day of travel would I be able to build my itinerary, and where is the best place to get the info?
Ideally looking for a morning trip Sheffield to Newcastle and afternoon Birmingham to Bristol - are either likely to be viable?

They do largely the same diagrams every week.

Not usually, the general usage of the HSTs is southbound through Birmingham in the morning and northbound through Birmingham in the afternoon or evening...

Hi, can someone please confirm if 43357 + 43303 are with XC04 or XC03 as I have been seeing conflicting information about them being with what set?

Thanks :)

Does anyone know what set 43366 & 43239 are currently on? Looking back at the posts, it was on XC02 on the 9th.

Nice to see HST at Glasgow Central, if it wasn't for the restrictions Id gone a jolly. Makes me wonder if XC full timetable will ever come back to Glasgow.

They were always, when I used them, very well loaded, I think because they had a cheaper XC only fare than scotrail, as well of course because of the frequent direct links from the east coast to Motherwell and Glasgow central. I really do hope so, I enjoyed using them as opposed to SR!

They were busy with day trippers to Edinburgh from Motherwell on Saturdays. They even brought back the trolley service!
