The only difference being a few "Abellio"s painted out. Unfortunately, that still means late running trains and poor allocation of units. I also notice that there is no timetable change (again!) from next month, so we still have (for instance) a half hour gap in the morning peak, followed by three trains in 17 minutes, to get people into Manchester *after* 0900hrs. If there is no timetable change, does that also mean no schedules changes, so no prospect of better punctuality and matching supply with demand regarding evening peak carriages in particular?

What made you think there would be a timetable change?
