68027+68032 off to York today for Driver Training duties.
Apparently its still in the google cache.
Its disappearance perhaps suggests they haven't had DfT approval?
47812+47813 delivering the next Mark 5A set to Manchester International tomorrow.
Given that the figures are published nine months after the event it is probable that they are no longer accurate as the trains no longer stop at Wigan North Western.

Autumn figures cover the December 2017 timetable (even though most would claim that's winter), while the Spring figures cover the May 2017 timetable. It's a valid point that TPE stopped calling at Wigan around 2 months ago. However, as the 16:00 Manchester Airport to Edinburgh service now departs slightly later and the number of Manchestrer to Preston via Bolton services have temporarily been reduced, it would well be that TPE are carrying more Preston passengers.

Those two services have been up and around the top of the lists for a while now.
The removal of Wigan North Western on some services was because the train was supposedly to be routed via Bolton which couldnt happen due to the delay in electrification.
