Liam Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I had a look in Realtime Trains earlier but can’t seem to work out what the abbreviation for the short set HSTs are. Is it something like ‘diesel locomotive, trailing load xxx tons’? Also, anyone know their diagrams for north of Bristol? Many thanks, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, TOCs are running ammended timetables with ammended diagrams, so there's little point looking on RTT which doesn't really show booked traction correctly except for ScotRail and GBRf anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted March 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2020 The ScotRail short HST sets are showing as diesel hauled 324 tons, 100mph max. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, Hi, I believe they are quoted as being timed for a Class 158 quite often, or at least that’s what it was when I helped do some risk assessments a couple of weeks back.

Simon Thanks Simon. I’m keen to have a ride on them when this period of chaos is over but it’s difficult anyway when the nearest points of the GWR network to you are Worcester SH or Evesham. IMHO the HSTs won’t be the same with power doors and fixed windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted March 25, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2020 Although RTT has started giving exact types for what is working certain TOC’s services I.e ScotRail & even numbers of Locomotives for GBRF services, usually what is shown is for the timing load not that is not necessarily the actual booked traction.
