Timed on 1V65 (17:05 Manchester-Birmingham New Street) between Stockport and Macclesfield. Benchmark Class 221 speed at MP 4 on the climb after Cheadle Hulme is 98 mph (88 with an engine out). Speed of the well-loaded 2+7 HST with power cars 43366+357 at MP 4 was 94 mph. Enjoyed by driver, on-board staff, passengers and me! David Stannard RPS Committee - Technical |

The 07:00 Edinburgh-Exeter HST was terminated at BHM due to late running and had a run to Manchester and back before working back north to Neville Hill early evening by taking over from a Voyager on a Southampton-Leeds service. wouldn't it be great if Cross Country could take on some redundant HSTs from LNER in due course? Sadly, the DfT appears to be totally uninterested. |
