I actually havent noticed a change to the Northern Line timetable yet to accomodate the MPV at Hunts Cross , wonder whether it has been overlooked or they are doing the lines in a different order this year.

The first service to Hunts Cross (0606 from Sandhills) is terminating at Liverpool South Parkway and the return service starting from there at 0639. I'm assuming there's a Saturday equivalent but I've yet to see the dockets.

Is this because there is only literally the eight paths across the junction an hour at Allerton and the MPV is using two . What classification is the MPV is it a class 1, 2 or 3 ?

Yeah its always pretty tight around Allerton Junction,if they remodelled it and the platforms at Hunts Cross it would be a godsend!
The MPVs a class 3. Eleswhere on the network theres actually protected class 3 paths in the working timetable and it generally runs in them.

507016 has suffered a graffiti attack down the yellow side of the trailer coach and also on one of the cab ends.

Can anyone confirm which unit was re-liveried last week please, i.e. next after 507001? Didn't manage to spot it today on my travels.

507032

507023 is the latest in for revinyl (after 507032)

My train home last night the 17:05 service from Ormskirk was unusually a 6 car train last night which made a nice change it was formed of units 507003 and 508124 this service is always normally only a 3 car wonder what the reason was for the 6 car substitution? wish it was a 6 car all the time. Heard on BBC news last night that a replacement bus service was running between Liverpool Central and Hunts Cross due to safety checks being undertaken at Cressington wonder what happened there?

Stock allocation and diagrams were all over the place due to the bad weather yesterday,it could even of been the 1650 running late.

A fallen tree at Garston and poor adhesion at Aigburth were causing the problems last night on the Hunts cross section
