Wasnt there talk at one time of adding an extra down (away from london ) track from somewhere North of Wigan but not at Wigan NW to Euxton junction.

I was at Thatto Heath and the 23:26 to Preston Arrived at 12:11 and the 11:27 to Liverpool had not shown up by 12:45 when i left (and no replacement Bus either!) Having just looked on RTT it appears the Liverpool Service was sent via Bamfurlong meaning it missed out a number of Stations along the route, Since the Ticket Offices are shut by this point no ones going to know their Train aint coming...

I cannot understand the timings in this e-mail.

The refurbishment of the class 144 Pacer does look a bit nicer than the others. This could be superceded by a new style of refurbishment by whoever wins the Northern franchise for next year.

I hope most or all Liverpool - Newton-le-Willows - Manchester Airport/ Victoria services will soon be run by refurbished class 319s.

Half the Wigan stopper diagrams today are diesel. 156424 worked the 0800 from Lime Street and a 142/150 set worked the 0832 from Lime Street.

Does Northern renumber units when there 3 car units to differentiate them for diagram usuage like other train operating companies do.

Unlikely as this is a temporary arrangement. 57225 was involved in an accident at Knaresborough and is being repaired.

No, it's not been renumbered.

RE: Northern Rail
Another Class 319 failed this time at Parkside , they do seem to be very susceptible at the moment , this caused delays for around two hours .

Some TPX / Northern services having to operate via Manchester Piccadilly.
