68023 and 68028 have also now had their vinyl treatment, the latter has been named "Lord President".

Another mk.5 delivery from Portbury to Longsight on Tuesday.


RE: TransPennine Express - ant17612 - 12/09/2018 17:36

The vinyl treatment to all of 68019 to 68032 is now completed

This qoute also mentions longer turnrounds at Manchester Airport implying that arrivals from Newcastle will form Middlesbrough trains and v.v..
;
This might be OK now but how will it work with mk.5 sets and IEPs - I seem to recall seeing something about consideration being given to keeping the mk.5s on Liverpool workings and presumably that would mean the Airport-Newcastle.s becoming IEPs and going to Edinburgh in due course?


RE: TransPennine Express - mikestone - 21/09/2018 21:27

December times now in Real Time Trains - 3 sets shown off Longsight presumably planned for mk.5s, although shown dmu.
If so rather surprisingly includes 02.42 Piccadilly-York via Salford Crescent and Hebden Bridge and an ECS reversing at Ashburys.

It seems we will only have 2 trains an hour from Manchester Piccadilly to Leeds. Both will go via Manchester Victoria, which will still be served by Liverpool - Leeds - Newcastle / Scarborough services.

Spot on there.


RE: TransPennine Express - knutstransport - 23/09/2018 06:39

The Hull service will still run.
