Also was delayed earlier at Acton Lane due to driver not having route knowledge

Lets just hope that where they put the unit is a bit more secure than the incident in Southern England that resulted in the unit being graffitied .

It should be on its way from Bletchley to Crewe early tomorrow at reduced speed of 30 mph

6X29 arrived at Crewe C.S. at 05:30, not sure if and when units will be moved to Liverpool.

On its way from Crewe now, just left as 6Z29, hopefully the whole train and not just the damaged barrier wagons

Looks like a barrier move to me with units still at Crewe.

RE: Merseyrail
My suspicion was correct, just the barrier wagons were on the train, the 777s are still at Crewe
