Manchester-Liverpool on TPE's Mk.5s

[supervc-10]

Hi all-
Going to Liverpool from Manchester on Saturday 23rd. I think the majority of the TPE services on Victoria-Lime Street are 802s, but which (if any) services will be Mk.5s? I'd like to get a trip on one as I've not tried them out yet! I know few services are being operated with the Mk.5s. The majority that I can see on the return side of things are headed to Newcastle, which I think is all 802 operated.

The 68 hauled services from Man Vic are down to one a day at the moment.

Man Vic d 0554 Liverpool a 0634.
Liv d 0654 Man vic a 0729 Leeds a 0822.

Or you have this from Man Pic.
M Pic d 1529 Leeds a 1620
Leeds d 1700 Man Vic a 1750.

Hope that's some help.

0554 off Vic is the only one - when it runs.

Comes back out at 0654 - again the only one.

You might get a chance in mid-December, when there may be some later in the day, but until then, the early train is all you are going to get.

Ahh that's a shame. Thanks anyway both! Definitely not getting up for the 0554...

From December TT change 1F48, 1F52, & 1F72 will be Mk5A from MCV to LIV.

From December TT change 1F48, 1F52, & 1F72 will be Mk5A from MCV to LIV.

It might help to explain that those are:
1F48 0554 Manchester Victoria to Liverpool Lime Street
1F52 0534 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street (depart Manchester Victoria at 0754)
1F72 1534 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street (depart Manchester Victoria at 1756)
as otherwise it isn't very accessible to anyone who doesn't know where to find out what the codes mean.

From December TT Change there is also an evening 1E49 19.21 Liverpool Lime St to Scarborough which should be the set off 1F72
And before that 1E45 17.25 Liverpool Lime St to Scarborough
The set off 1F52 will go 5H52 ECS to Longsight and a fresh set will work 5F45 1506 Longsight Car. M.D. to Liverpool Lime Street
