RE: First Transpennine Express - A McNall95 - 16/02/2013 22:01
Hello all, I'm planning on getting a TransPennine Express train on Monday from Newcastle-York. Does anyone know if the trains have WiFi?
Thanks in advance

If DalesBus do not provide the Richmond - Hawes - Lancaster Summer Sunday services this year, I shall just go to Darlington/ Middlesbrough/ Saltburn for the day. I looked up fares for April 27th for example (which will not be my chosen day as I shall be in Barnstaple then) but the Advance fares of £12 each way and late trains back are excellent!

Hello,
Does anyone know when TPE will start running frequent and direct train form Liverpool to Newcastle again? Thanks

Possibly (probably) as late as 2019 when the Northern Hub and associated TP electrification is complete AND when TPE receive the new Class 350/4 units have been fully delivered and tested.
You'll have to make do with just the 1 direct service, (06:15 1E60/1N60), at the moment.

2019?
What about the direct LIV-NCL via MCV due to start in December 2013 with Class 185 units?

As the drivers are only just getting to grips with how a signal works, I'd say they are running behind.

Dependent on the 350/4 order (and associated driver training) being completed, in order to release Class 185s from the MIA-GLC/EDB workings.
The latest I've heard was Chester was being considered instead of Liverpool for additional/new Transpennine services, partly to increase CTR-WBQ-MAN frequencies.
