Services on Sundays are different from weekdays. There are currently 3 x 319 services running via Bolton on weekdays and none of these are booked to call at Heaton Chapel.

I think there was engineering works going on over Easter which meant some services were diverted but I just checked and you were on a train which started (as usual) from platform 3A at Stockport (using stock stabled there overnight) and runs to Blackpool via Lostock, so the reference to it being a train from Alderley Edge was incorrect.
Trains from Alderley Edge go to Wigan or Southport via Bolton, with the ones that terminate at Wigan then forming a Wigan-Bolton-Victoria-Stalybridge service, which is why I mentioned the lack of wires and 769s.
Thank you to those of you who have clarified why my trains via Bolton were electric on Easter Sunday but not Good Friday.
I hope all trains to Blackpool North via Wigan North Western or via Horwich will be electric in the new timetables.
37884 took 769424 and 769431 from Allerton to Wabtec Doncaster last Thursday evening.
Does anyone know if the Class 195's and 331's will enter service at the upcoming Timetable Change?
This morning, I have been travelling on the 0838 service from SHF to LCN (1L37) using 144003. Where are the class 158?
