Grand National 2013

[First Class]

RE: Grand National 2013
The train usually has it sowed up. That said, Merseyrail still hasn't applied for the "Short Term Plan" train paths for the usual enhanced service, which is odd as it takes a few weeks for Network Rail planners to process and arrange. They might just do a VSTP, (Very Short Term Plan), and only arrange additional services on the day, on an adhoc basis, according to passenger loading.

East Midlands Trains are running 1/2 Class 222 7-car units into Liverpool from Peterborough. Northern have Class 5 paths for additional St. Helens services, (which will probably end up Class 2 and run as passenger services if needed).

Orient Express running into Runcorn then coaches to Aintree.


I also think Peoplebus has a "runs as required" year round VOSA registration, possibly numbered 510?
