09:05 Leeds - Glasgow Central

Post by 6rdfar90 »

NXEC Run, and goes from Leeds - Wakefield Westgate - Doncaster, and onwards to Glasgow Central. Is this a new service, or a new timetabled service? Talking about it on MSN, I realise it might be a newly timetabled service - but cant seem to find it anywhere in NXEC's timetables on their site!! Unless they have it as a southbound train....


[EDIT] They have it as a Southbound train.... and then a seperately timetabled train from Doncaster to Glasgow Central...

That would be very odd. South from Leeds all the way to Doncaster. Then turn round and go north?
That's Co - Driver - Mike. The one in the other seat.

There is certainly or atleast was one from Glasgow that does exactly the reverse, (something like the 18:00 or there abouts) Glassgow - Doncaster then Doncaster - Leeds (they do announce at York that if traveling to Leeds change at York onto a FTPE or XC (when i last did that trip it was VXC) as that is quicker.

Looking in the new timetable on saturdays the 17:50 off Glasgow runs south to Doncaster (Arrives 22:17) and then runs north to Leeds where it arrives at 23:03.

As far as i can see there is no service that runs from Leeds south to Doncaster and then heads north to York via the ECML, allthough the 06:20 from Doncaster on saturdays to Glasgow does arrive ECS from the Leeds direction.

Edit: Just found the service your on about 6rdfar90 on sundays timetable ...
