55 019 was behind the Hymek

I had a 5pm arrival into Fort William on the sleeper once with passengers, quite a few 1-2pm runs too. I think some of my colleagues did arrive later than that as well. In later times I think they started detraining at Dumbarton if it was over a certain amount of time late and putting people on...

22.15 (1N86) Liverpool-Blackpool has been a 323 for a while now. I think since December. It is booked for 219 tonight, sure I’ve seen it as a 6 car as well sometimes

I do wish News websites would get details correct. The BBC site states - “Passengers travelling from Liverpool Lime Street who need Manchester stations can travel via Warrington Bank Quay.” no wonder people end up in the wrong place. There’s no direct service from Liverpool to Warrington...

It links to a peak hour Wigan-Man Vic via Chat Moss working then goes onto Springs Branch

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:34454/2024-12-03/detailed Maybe 003 and 029 heading over to Birkenhead North

Aah, I obviously haven’t paid enough attention to them I’ve always just regarded both classes as 1 entity!! Hopefully you’ll get some more concrete info from others!

Wasn't the Holyhead train Voyagers at some point? I've no pics but I'm sure they ran on it (or I'm having a senior moment!) I'm not sure if it was 220s or 221s or a mixture of both so sorry if it doesn't help

Scrap move isn't happening this week, but I've not heard anything about any being out in service. 08.03 ex Southport would be best bet at moment but as I say I've not seen anything posted anywhere

Services have started to resume in last hour. 507 023 has been route proving this morning and has gone back to Kirkdale Depot now Not seen any 507s in service though

Theres no stock movements on realtimetrains and there was nothing in New Brighton sidings or at Birkenhead North Depot to replace it so I think it must still be out

Photo on Merseyrailways shows 018 leading into Waterloo on the 16.03 ex Southport

Unfortunately not, it has been replaced by 777 014 at Rock Ferry

If it is still on diagram it should currently be on 16.45 Liverpool Central to Chester. Next circuit starts Chester at 17.42 as 2C47

Apparently so not heard anything to contrary. 018 is still AMAZING!
