I am due at some stage to travel to Liverpool via Wigan as i have not yet sampled electric trains via St Helens Central. Mind you, even this might wait until I can see the rebuilt Wigan Bus Station in operation.

150211 on the 09:17 Manchester-Chester today with full internal and external repaint and new seat covers and cushions (the new ones are firmer than the old ones.) The CIS was switched off, I don't know if that means it's not operational (not even showing just the destination) or whether the crew hadn't been trained on setting it. If it's stayed on the same diagram it'll be on the 13:17 Manchester-Chester now, then the 14:59 Chester-Manchester (with another unit), then the 16:49 Manchester-Buxton.

Richard Clinnick has shared pictures of the first completed 331 on his Twitter account: https://twitter.com/clinnick1

However, he says the 195s will enter service first on the Cumbria and Calder Valley to Chester routes at the December timetable change with UK track testing set to take place from August.

57301 brought 319424 from Loughborough to Allerton this afternoon. The unit originally went from Allerton to Loughborough last year for Class 769 FLEX conversion so whether this has been completed is not known at present.
