RE: Northern Rail
No, the unit for the morning services runs ECS from Lime St to Bank Quay, does a couple of trips then it goes empty from Bank Quay to Preston. The unit for the afternoon trips comes from Chester and after it has done a couple of trips runs ECS from Bank Quay to Lime St. SD. |

ATW send 2 x 175 ECS CTR to LLJ every morning and 1 ECS CTR - PICC via Crewe/WBQ, also 3 x 15x CTR - LLJ every morning. East Mids send 3 x 158 ECS Nottingham to Lime St... Every morning.. Virgin runs Voyagers galore ECS between Crewe/Tamworth - Chester/Holyhead /Wrexham, every morning/evening.. |

RE: Northern Rail
Why cant that last trip not continue in service beyond Helsby and Warrington Bank Quay. I suppose it is more to do with the fact that the service arrives at Warrington Bank Quay to fit into the pattern at Earlestown at the wrong time , the Non-stop service TPX precluding anything other than an ECS working. What does the set strengthen at Liverpool Lime St. |

RE: Northern Rail
It used to work the 1725 from Lime St to Oxford Rd, not 100% sure, will find out. As for a waste of resources it isn't quite as bad as the four units that come from Nottingham to Liverpool to work the first departures to Norwich. SD. |

142 030 on 1503 Blackpool North - Liverpool South Parkway - not seen a Pacer on this route for a while as the route appeared to have settled to a150/156 mix. |

RE: Northern Rail
On long welded rail i find the 142's acceptable , its only when you get on to short length track that the ride becomes intolerable . The bank from Springs branch to Bryn up the incline used to be terrible as you had a PSR and short length track which would make the run an eternity in that direction. |
