All ways round, take the ‘reason’ given with a pinch of salt.

I see your point but ‘late arrival of the inbound service’ was the real reason, nothing at all wrong with the Nova 3.

Complete nonsense, there was nothing wrong with the loco or stock on 1F66. 68026 worked 1E43 16:31 Manchester Victoria to Scarborough, I saw the train departing from York. I would always take RTT (and TPE Journey Check!) with a pinch of salt:)

As mentioned, you will need to be up early or stay out late to catch them at Piccadilly. 1P05 0242 Manchester Piccadilly to York 1E23 0627 Manchester Piccadilly to Scarborough 1P92 1932 Scarborough-Manchester Airport (Piccadilly 2207) 1P94 2032 Scarborough-Manchester Airport (Piccadilly 2312)

Some tremendous footage there, I really enjoyed that. That pacing shot of the Nova 2 is pure class:)

68021 plus TP12 were vandalised at Scarborough last Saturday night but both were cleaned up at Longsight earlier this week. 68025 plus TP06 was done on Sunday night but ran to Longsight on Monday. That one hasn’t returned to traffic yet. 68019 plus TP08 was also daubed but I understand that...

From sight 68027 1F54 0634 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street 68019 1E23 0627 Manchester Piccadilly to Scarborough I understand 68022 1F52 0534 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street plus 1F50 0528 York to Liverpool I think is a 68 too. Hope that helps.

Four diagrams today. Previously it has been mentioned things likely to stay that way until February due to crew training. TPE 68s@1630 68019 1E43 1554 Liverpool Scarborough 68022 1E41 1454 Liverpool Scarborough 68025 1E45 1654 Liverpool Scarborough 68027 1F74 1634 Scarborough Liverpool. Hope...

It’s an excellent image. It was great to see the Class 90s make a brief come back to the ECML, fun whilst it lasted!

Is the correct answer. The diagrams and allocations given are for Saturday! Here are the trains being worked as of 12:20 on 05.01.2020 68023 1E35 11:52 Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough 68025 1F60 09:32 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street 68019 1F64 11:32 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime...

Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful response. I know I’ll be accused by some of showing too much empathy, but it does look like a very tricky situation with no quick or easy solutions. My observation on the ground has been that there’s a lot of effort going into keeping the job going...

Which I think is actually where the problem comes from. In all of this ‘Transport for the North’, the outfit overseeing the TPE franchise have been strangely quiet. Yes, there have recently been a few mutterings from them about things not being as they should but there have certainly not been...

All of which again implies I defended the PPM for TPE, which I didn’t.

Ah, another selective quote. I’d already noted that the early and later trains were cancelled. You are materially incorrect about the 11:51 arrival, it did actually run, albeit a little late.

I still don’t remember having written anything about PPM in any of my posts... In post 474 I have given you my understanding of how we have got here, I notice that you have failed to engage with any of those points other than dismissing them as ‘empathy’ with the ‘upper echelons of the TOC and...

Oh, thank you so much for the advice. I travel on a variety of TPE trains on a regular basis and I’m well aware of the cancellations and PPM. I didn’t reference either in my post and merely commented with a;) that the service on the Scarborough line was better yesterday, which it was. All...

Having just re-read your post, I actually agree with almost all you’ve put there. Selling AP tickets for trains they were in anyway doubtful about running isn’t acceptable. Agree too about refunding people who end up having to buy an open ticket where ticket acceptance hasn’t been arranged...

Yes, 1F54 cancelled at Huddersfield. Unconfirmed reports of ‘a problem with the traction equipment’: 68023. Link below to the schedule: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y33127/2019-12-31/detailed
