Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: gwr2006 on May 19, 2008, 22:16:06 I wonder why they are slapping a 180 on a Hereford service. ??? What is wrong with the Oxford services? These trains can get busy but the main reason for using a 180 is the very tight turnaround at Hereford. 1W02 1151 Paddington to Hereford arrives at 1457 and has to shunt before forming 1P66 1519 Hereford to Paddington. The 22 minutes is just too tight for an HST! 1P66 is a key peak train as it passes through Oxford at 1736 and any delay then delays the Cotswold Halts train (1731 from Oxford) and a host of CrossCountry and stopping services heading south. Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: willc on May 20, 2008, 14:30:55 How do you define busy? A very busy Adelante is the equivalent of a pretty quiet 125 - and these workings aren't busy in Cotswold Line terms, even for an Adelante.
And if it were all that busy coming off the Cotswold Line, it wouldn't be a lot of use as a fast evening peak service out of Oxford - as FGW discovered very quickly in the morning peaks in December 06, after the DfT geniuses decided that already heavily-loaded Cotswold Line trains could pick up most of the Oxford commuters as well. Yes, the turnaround at Hereford is tight, but is achievable by an HST - the issue, as ever, is more to do with late running on the way from London causing trouble, by eating into the time allowed to shunt, assuming it even gets to Hereford - this train kept getting turned back at Ledbury earlier in the year. And with the structure of the Cotswold Line timetable, just about any late-running service can muck up everything else. Especially the 17.21 ex-London, which was late off Oxford yet again yesterday, stuffing up both the following trains and two coming in the opposite direction. Of all the late afternoon/early evening trains, the halts one is the least likely to cause havoc.

And, even though I think I asked this before, how will an EMT HST replace 5 180s? ??? I done some sums ( ;D ), and they don't add up! Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: devon_metro on May 21, 2008, 18:35:41 Its a NXEC HST
Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: swlines on May 21, 2008, 18:39:29 The 180s are intended to double up when in service, the afternoon diagram that one of them does is just due to a lack of general availability of HSTs.
There are some 50 HST sets diagrammed out of roughly 54 I think currently? Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: Btline on May 21, 2008, 18:41:46 Its a NXEC HST Really? I thought that Hull Trains' Vomiter clones where going to go to EMT to join the rest of the Vomiter clones (this would free up an HST for FGW etc.). Must be old news. So where will NXEC get extra rolling stock? Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: devon_metro on May 21, 2008, 18:43:01 Believe NX have one to cover for the Mallard refurb.
Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: swlines on May 21, 2008, 18:50:34 They don't. The HST is a cover for their Mallard refresh programme.

So where will NXEC get extra rolling stock? And why do you call Class 222's Vomiter Clones, more like Vomiter MK2, they are a lot better than 220/221's as improvments were made based on the flaws in 220/221's. Title: Re: Summer TT 180 diagrams Post by: swlines on May 21, 2008, 19:08:33 The current intention is for (I think there are 14 180s...) for 101-110 to go to NXEC and 111-114 to go to Hull Trains....

But I think it caused overcrowding as there were not enough second class seats!
