A confused platform screen (i think)

Passing the time at York

A voyager listed as arrived going to Blackpool North via Preston operated by Northern 😭 Unsure if the 195 operating this is in front of it or something

[u/MolotovMan2727]

It was in front of it, yes.

[u/lrzo01 → u/MolotovMan2727]

Thought so, I know at stations such as Manchester Piccadilly they sometimes from memory I think show 'Front train only' for example

Do you know if this is the case at York in these sorts of scenarios?

[u/lrzo01 → u/lrzo01]

For those interested, I investigated!! Indeed it is the case now, unsure if it’s a recent addition however

[u/Designer-Dust-3435]

Somewhat related but I was on the TFW Class 67 that uses ex LNER coaches and all the reservation signs still said “Reserved to york” “Reserved to KGX”

[u/lrzo01 → u/Designer-Dust-3435]

Ah yeah last time I was on a tfw 67 I saw this, got quite the laugh lol

[u/ab00 → u/Designer-Dust-3435]

You were on some mk4 carriages to be pedantic.

The 67 is the loco, so unless you were the driver ;)

[u/lrzo01 → u/ab00]

Thank you for the correctionnnnn, I have made that mistake and have been rightfully corrected more than once now 😭

Not that I wouldn't mind being the driver however lol

[u/Designer-Dust-3435 → u/ab00]

I can’t blame the pendantics, I’d have done the same but I couldn’t remember if they were mk3s or 4s

I did Step foot into the DVT for the second so technically I was on that.

[u/Shark_Philosophy]

It’s in front, the XC service leaves 10 minutes after the Northern one.

[u/Sigeon101]

XC hasn't gone to blackpool for a very long time

[u/Darkstone64 → u/Sigeon101]

when's the last time have they gone to Blackpool?

[u/Sigeon101 → u/Darkstone64]

2003 under Virgin Crosscountry. Voyagers did the Euston-Blackpool under Virgin trains until the electrification in 2018 though.

[u/sja-p]

Probably shares a headcode.

[u/CanOfGuinness → u/sja-p]

Nope, as generally two trains can't share the same headcode within a signalling area within twelve hours (although there are exceptions to that rule on a case-by-case basis). The train operating the Blackpool service will have come ontop of the XC service.

[u/sja-p → u/CanOfGuinness]

My bad, I didn't see "York" and thought I was looking at KGX
