I understand these trains will not run.

A bizarre one to put into the system then.

There are about 4 paths for the Mossend to Seaforth service that never get used, they’ve been in for at least 15 months

Maybe but these were originally special editions to the Working Timetable so is weird for them to go in but not run.

Ah yes I don't post to there only look at it from time to time. This makes sense then, I assume their are plans to use them Network Rail permitting of course. I wonder if it has anything to do with the influx of containers being shipped into Liverpool but I can only assume the Paths via Altrincham would be empty flats as don't think containers would fit in with parts of the gauging on the line.

I would presume the service will have something to do with the influx of containers.
Via Altrincham I think must be ok with some containers as the binliner containers go that way. Isn't the loading gauge W8?
