Arent they supposed to be operating the Blackpool and Barrow trains together in the interim .

Yes, I believe so.
I would love to see a once daily London-Windermere service. I dont use this line loads but it would be nice to have.

With electrification taking place around Merseyside, I would greatly prefer an electric Liverpool-Windermere via St Helens Ctl service, replacing the Liverpool-Blackpool route. Would give Liverpool good connections to Lancaster and Oxenholme.

Possible portion working, 1 portion Windermere, 1 portion could attach to an ex-Manchester Scottish service.
