Skegness HST

To provide additional capacity for customers travelling to Skegness this summer, East Midland Trains are to utilise one of their HST sets on Saturdays (July 18th - September 5th), providing two return trips from Nottingham to Skegness. A trial run which was to have taken place on 17th May was postponed and instead took place on 23rd May. The same HST worked additional relief trains from Nottingham to Skegness today - and we were there to record its arrival at Skegness.

This is not the first HST to work to Skegness, as Hertfordshire Railtours operated a charter from St Pancras to Skegness using one on 22nd February 1992. A photo of this arriving at Skegness with 43051 leading can be seen below.
