What type of clearance work is it?

319368 is on the airport services today

History was made yesterday (25th April) as the first electric train in passenger service operated a return journey on the Liverpool - Wigan line (0600 Liverpool - Wigan & 0703 Wigan - Liverpool). 319363 was the unit used.

Excellent. Good to see Network Rail doing some work on a forgotten line.

319367 is on the airports today - that's at least 6 that have been in passenger service so far

RTT has a move at 1629 from Wolverton to Allerton today. It has been reported as a further two 319s.
