It appears two 3 cars coupled together at Chester, upon the reduction of the service to the 30 min evening frequency.
Any particular reason why?
It seems a similar case next Saturday as well?
Some 6 cars last night for the Cosmic Cape music festival at Capenhurst.
Can’t see any 6 car workings for the 12th, though

Ah okay thanks.
It looks as though, what was 2C47 and 2C48 are planned to couple to form a 6 car for 2C52 (1930) next Saturday since 5R47 appears to have been cancelled according to RTT.
