Nice , I saw the 40 at Leeds and its rare you see a EMT Through wakefield K. I have seen a XC voyager reverse at wakefield K.

[GWRDec]

thanks johnny, i been told that EMT pass through wakefield k on mon - fri once a day, but still i have never seen 1 pass through wakey k before!

[40445]

Nice video of the 40, shame about the tram footage at the start though =(

[GWRDec]

haha thanks mate

[Woolybak8]

I passed the HST just before heading into Wakefield so I thought i'd video it. Also, I knew there would be photers on Kirkgaten so I thought i'd stick my head out the window, and im there at 1.21 at the front of the coach just appearing

[GWRDec]

cool! you must have seen me then haha

[Woolybak8]

Yeah, you and the more spotters on the station than passenger numbers in a month there!

[mrdiddlydonk]

That is the only HST of the day (Mon - Fri) through Wakey K, unless theres diversions. A voyager also comes into platform 3 first thing to pick up the trolly dollies. (I'm a signaller in that new building at the end of platform 1 ;D

[GWRDec]

ooo never knew that, thanks for the info. are they all East Midlands Trains HSTs then

[GWRDec]

thing is, this was a saturday, so it was a diversion then?

[mrdiddlydonk]

The HSTs are yeah. They are booked in place of the up Sheffield Express. As it doesn't run at the hour. The Voyager which picks up crew is Arriva Cross Country.

[rymer94]

i agree but the 40 sounded great i was quite exited that rsg was hauling near us and when they changed it to a 40 it changed my mood a little but i havent seen both so i suppose its ok :)
