And about the only train that has worked Mid-Cheshire services today and hasn't developed a fault.

Heaton based 156480 has been working in the North West for quite a few weeks now, mainly on LIV-MCO services.

Just curious are diagrams on the Leeds-Chester not yet operated by 195 or are they now all operated by them

All booked for 195 but I have had a 156 recently.

Reported on WNXX that 319382 and 319376 were taken to Long Marston for store.

Further 319s to store at Long Marston are 319374 and 319363.

142016, 142022 and 142025 have been tripped over from Heaton to Worksop today for storage.

These have now been joined by 142037, 142052 and 142064.

And yet short formations continue at over a hundred a day - not to mention 200 plus cancelled which I will charitably put down to traincrew shortage/external problems.

Presumably the idea is that these sets can be put back in traffic when others run out of hours/mileage.

3 more have gone today being 142088, 142093 and 142096
