Inverness-London (and the other way) on HST and Sleeper- back in the late eighties, when I was a small kid and lived in Inverness. No idea what was hauling the sleeper
London-Edinburgh by Class91/Mk4 plenty
St Austell - Glasgow/Edinburgh 220/221- did these journeys a few times over a year.
London-Sheffield 222
London-Weymouth 444

[northwichcat]

One thing I've found surprising so far is the limited number of very long 150 services that have been listed.

Is it perhaps the case that in cases like when 150s did Scarborough to Holyhead or when ATW use a 150 to fill in for a 158/175 on a Manchester-South Wales service that people change when they don't have to?

I notice Carlisle to Middlesbrough's been listed for Pacers as well as Carlisle to Barrow. People who complain about FGW using Pacers on 75 minute journeys take note.

[bengley]

142 - Penzance to Glasgow Central.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Class 360: Limehouse to London Liverpool Street

Begging your pardon, but do you mean a 357 to Fenchurch Street?

 

[Drsatan]

142 - Penzance to Glasgow Central.

In your dreams

 

[northwichcat]

142 - Penzance to Glasgow Central.

Not possible. BR banned Pacers from Cornwall and sent them up north as the wheels were wearing out too quickly and the ban hasn't been overturned since despite modifications so that it's mainly just the passengers and crews who suffer on sharp bends rather than the wheels.

That's not to mention all the other lines they aren't cleared for such as Macclesfield to Stoke, Crewe to Shrewsbury etc. making it difficult to do such as journey as a passenger service.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

Class 508: Liverpool Lime Street to James Street

Clockwise (via Central) or anti-clockwise (via Moorfields)?

 

[MCR247]

You can only go via Central :?

 

[47832]

Begging your pardon, but do you mean a 357 to Fenchurch Street?

Yes I do my mistake was very tired when posted. Have amended.

 

[northwichcat]

You can only go via Central :?

I was thinking the same person could made a return journey and as you can't go the same way it would mean one would be slightly shorter than the other.
