917 Anfield service, I'm told 17036 & 18148 were also in use.

Like the fact that ollys get put on match day workings. The tridents don't have as much seating space, plus it's very unlikely that wheelchair users will want to go on the bus to anfield on a match day.

27768 was involved in a crash this lunchtime on Mount Pleasant in Waterloo (article gets the location wrong). Some injuries have been reported. Best wishes to those involved for a speedy recovery.

A very rare working today, 24178 covering for a Preson Scania/Enviro400 on the X2, seen on it's return to Liverpool at Bootle http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/12544396053/

It can't be on one without being on the other!

Also, given that 24178 (I think - or was it 179?) recently went on loan to Chorley, partly for route trials, I wouldn't be surprised if its use at Preston is also for trials, rather than brakedown cover.

At a time when Merseyrail aren't operating to Southport, it's not really the time to have a shocking single deck allocation to that route, which is busy at the best of times between Liverpool - Southport.

Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.
