Now confirmed that Northern will be taking both cl.323 fleets and releasing the 319s.

Unsurprisingly the Sunday Liverpool-Wigan and Atherton line services that were suppposed to be starting in September have now disappeared from RTT - the former are showing in December, but not the Atherton line trains.

Hourly Sunday Mid Cheshire also not on RTT despite being in the track access application.

That applies to quite a lot of services - but oddly all six Whitby workings, are despite one having beren rejected and the subject of a seperate application.

Looking like a few Liverpool - Blackpool/Wigan/Warrington BQ diagrams are diesel operated today. Also I believe a Pacer was on Liverpool - Blackpool all day yesterday. Must be a fair shortage of EMU`s.

Why couldn't they have just listed the excuses originally and then Network Rail can work through the list and try to work things out instead of one excuse after another.

A sole bar fell off 170426 while working the 09:25 Sheffield to Bridlington today. A passenger pulled the emergency cord meaning the train was halted in the Nunnery area.

While the 323s seemed too modern to withdraw, this means that some of the 319s in particular will have been refurbished for remarkably short-term use. It could also mean a drop of seats on some services.

I'd been trying to work out what went on there - a couple of down trains were allowed to go past on the East Slow but then no more, although trains were allowed past on the up until it was ready to go back, so I'm guessing the fitter was not confident it would get back.

That said I'm not sure a *solebar* can fall off, being the beam that supports the body - I would guess they mean a solebar cover.
