I caught 09.00 York to Edinburgh yesterday with 800203+801103 which ran Diesel only from Berwick to Dunbar and just south of St Germans xing then back to electric. I assume this is booked as we didnt loose much time. Had similar southbound last year. Were you closely following an all-electric LNER or Lumo? My trip was on a bimode 801, through service from Aberdeen. Dep EDB 10 mins after an electric LNER and so we switched to diesel for the middle bit to reduce draw on the OHLE. |

According to RTT the previous Electric Train was 09.59 Berwick to Edinburgh which had arrived in Edinburgh at 10.47 before we left. Just a thought is it now cheaper to run in Diesel Mode than pay Network Rail Electric Charges if you can still keep time??? Had similar southbound last year.
