There also appears to be numerous cancellations on other lines. Not a very good Christmas present for Northern's passengers today. Is there any particular why they are so short of staff?

Think it's because guards don't have to work Sundays and a lot have chosen not to work today.

Surely something should have been done given the fact that quite possibly more people will be travelling today compared to a normal Sunday, whether they be shopping or going home for the holiday. Possibly excusable on a normal Sunday but not good today though.

RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North)
Just noticed a very strange quirk in the calling patterns of the replacement buses today. The services from Preston are calling at Edge Hill but the outward services aren't as well as the shorter Liverpool - Wigan journeys. Quite remarkable considering Edge Hill is closed today as it is every Sunday.

Ex GWR 150102, 150122 and 150124 have arrived here, at least the first 2 are already in use.

158782/86/89 and 158867-71 were allocated to Northern many years ago but "borrowed" by Scotrail and never returned. Expect to see the rest of this batch with Northern soon.

All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles
