Not really. Pretty much all of diagrams are subject to being replaced by 158 or 170.
I did see one leaving Leicester on the 08.45 (ish) Lincoln this morning.
156408. That one gets to Lincoln, spends the day between Peterborough and Doncaster before working the 1830 back to Leicester and back through to Lincoln to finish.
Interesting, thanks. Hadn't realised the diagrams are more varied, I know previously everything pretty much did Leicester's all day, although I bet I'm thinking back to before some were extended beyond Lincoln (to Grimsby Town etc) which would skew things.
Yeah - the Grimsby diagrams are largely self contained going back and forth between Leicester and Grimsby/Cleethorpes, the Leicester - Lincoln short workings interwork with the Peterborough/Doncaster services.
Depends on the day of the week, but as the post above says they are mainly in Lincolnshire.
Many thanks for the help I'll keep an eye on RTT if I end up with only 158s and 170s that's still not so bad I guess.
Weekend services can be mayhem! I think they are, of course can depend on engineering works. I'm on 180110, thankfully back to five cars again on 19.59 Nott to St Pancras. Very busy after Leicester.
I believe bank holidays are the same as normal weekdays in terms of formations so the diagrams listed in post 1 will hopefully be correct.
Many thanks
You likely do not need to be told this but of course if you want to be certain, and if your friend has got a flexible ticket, then you'll be able to check on RTT later (sometimes it is before midnight, but usually after midnight). Whenever I have a flexible ticket I double check (esp on weekends) for the 10 car services and sometimes also check for the units with declassified first (103/104 and 005/006). Sometimes I buy an advance really late the night before and the diagrams are out already which is always super useful.
They are indeed on a flexible ticket so I was going to do this, but was hoping info given would be a useful guide ahead of a late night check.
It certainly makes the journey better! Just to further add to that 222103/104 have more declassified first (the composite carriage as well as some of the next carriage) while 005/006 just have part of one carriage declassified. Either way, I've never had a problem getting a seat! One occasion we were even fortunate enough to be offered sandwiches in the declassified section (it was a very late service).
On another thread it is saying 2x 158
