Theres booked 8 car workings 7 days a week on the Southport line over the summer

Yep, every Merseyrail and tfw stock that goes on there early evening and at end of service uses it, been through it many times

The washes at Kirkdale and Birkenhead North depots are only 3mph. (Raised from 2mph). Fairly easy to do as the 777s have a wash mode button that restricts you to that speed.

Staff morale is at an all time low at the TOC that the new incoming MD has just left, I wouldnt expect mush to change...

The amended schedule was loaded for Thursday to Sunday and was working fine. However it was wiped when it was thought the strikes were happening with the strike timetable loaded instead.

Called off

The managers working trains until 9pm on the Sunday need 12hours rest before starting on Monday...

To be fair thats a very good effort from Northern esp the extending of the Leeds service. It terms of Merseyrail all Southport services are booked 8cars Mon to Wed this week so that should be more than sufficient.

Theres no additional trains tomorrow, its the standard 15min service on all lines. The additions (& altered Chesters) are Thursday to Sunday inclusive.

Its all up on real train times, just type in the date you want to travel and go from there. The Chesters will be departing from Liverpool at there usual times, the only difference is a bit of waiting time outside Chester to allow the previous train out as an extra unit has been inserted into...

Your opinion remember with no way of backing it up
