Back at Bangor, double header departs for Birmingham New Street
Sadly the Sunday Boat Train is now Class 175s. Originally the double header arrives at Holyhead as two trains. In the winter 1999 - 2000 timetable the double header arrives at Holyhead as one train but in the Summer 2000 timetable this has reverted to two trains for an unknown reason.
