ECML DIVERSION??

Post by Ferrybridge Flyer »

Just a quick question if anyone's out there--does anyone know of an ECML diversion going through Knottingley at all??I saw a HST set heading through Ferrybridge for Knottingley a bit ago.Is this an all-dayer??

What livery was it?

And are you sure it was an HST?

That route is used as a diversionary route should the main ECML route be blocked.
One train a day (the last London - York leaving Doncaster at 2346) is booked that way to keep up drivers routes knowledge, as well as a London - Leeds via Pontefract and several ECS moves.
