Grand Central | The lonesome Voyager out of King’s Cross

Hello!

We were at London Kings Cross, when we caught sight of the Grand Central Class 221 Voyager (221 143), it was then that, we knew, we were getting on that train!


Grand Central have recently leased two Class 221s (142 and 143), which have been operating on Wakefield Kirkgate to London King’s Cross and back.

Departing at 14.56, this service runs non stop to Newark Northgate, before continuing onto Doncaster, Pontefract Monkhill and Wakefield Kirkgate.

Interestingly, the 15.03 LNER London King’s Cross to Leeds service, departs 7 minutes after the Grand Central Voyager, but arrives at Wakefield 10 minutes ahead of the Grand Central service.
This makes it possible to venture out on Both the Class 221 voyager and LNER Intercity 225 from Doncaster to Wakefield Westgate.

Join us as we travel onboard an ex Avanti West Coast workhorse, as it traverses the East Coast Mainline with Ease!
