Looks like I'll have limited internet access over next three days.
I don't want to hold up this quiz for others, so the answer is:-

• 2W30 1759 Liverpool Lime St to Wigan North Western via Newton-le-Willows (Class 319)

It's the only passenger service using the Newton-le-Willows - Lowton Jn chord northbound & there were no passenger trains in this direction for many years until the start of the new timetable.

Open Floor for the next journey.
