1M88 0625 SO 0633 SX Poole - Manchester P & 1V16 1725 Manchester P

This Page Last Updated : 28/06/09

Due to the then new requirement of AC electric locos to be available to work diagrams between London Liverpool Street and Ipswich from the May 1985 Timetable change, a number of Cross County services that had previously been electric turns under the wires north of the West Midlands became through diesel. One such pairing of services were 1M88 & 1V16. During the summer of '85 the diagram was far from a solid EH turn...

After the usual booked loco change at Reading, the loco that worked forward on 1M88 06:25 SX / 06:33 SO Poole - Manchester Piccadilly was later diagrammed to return on the 1V16 17:25 Manchester Piccadilly - London Paddington, although the loco didn't always stick to the diagram. In the listing below, locos reported to have worked both 1M88 and 1V16 are marked *, locos as yet reported working only 1M88 are marked -, while + indicates as yet only reported working 1V16 otherwise see notes for details... Missing info welcome as always, see email link below...

1M88 06:25 SX/06:33 SO Poole - Manchester P, from Reading (-) 1V16 17:25 Manchester P - Paddington (+) (* both).
