INTRODUCTION:
There was little change
with the 1985-86 timetable. The direct service from Hull and
Leeds remained, the two portions combined at Sheffield which included class 08 haulage
during the shunting move! There was no balancing service from Brighton for this,
only an evening departure for Derby. The outward service for Leeds and Hull
originated from Paddington at 0650. A WTT for the Chesterfield to Birmingham
area threw up the fact the 0602 Derby to Brighton was one of the few trains to
call at Wilnecote and Water Orton.
TIMETABLE and ROUTE:
The overnight service to
Gatwick from Manchester re-introduced last year continued as previously on a Friday and Saturday night. The Friday
night service was actually a Hollidaymaker service to Poole that ran via the
Thames Valley then via Acton and Willesden were a Brighton driver ( and
conductor?) joined the train to take it southwards. I'm sure there was also an
unadvertised stop at Hove for another crew change. The Sunday night service ran via the West Coast mainline....I
think.
You may have noticed that the Sunday
morning arrival at Gatwick
doesn't balance with the departures.
A recently acquired WTT
shows that the stock formed 5M52 06+40 Gatwick Airport to Euston Down Carriage
sidings.
