16:05 Carlisle to Holyhead

Does anyone know what this is about? Is it actually going to be running at those times?

If you can't read the image - Eastcoast, is showing a direct Carlisle to Holyhead service today at 16:05; first stop Wigan, presumably over the Settle and Carlisle, then onwards to Holyhead (with a little wait at Chester).
No train operator is shown as it's a 'rescheduled' service, but I guess it must be a Virgin (Voyager?).

I guess it would make good use of a Weekend First!

[edit] I think it is the Cumbrian Mountain & Coast Stateman, run by West Coast Railways.

Holyhead to Carlisle via Workington, and then south via the S&C

Yes, I guess it is - those timings are suspiciously close.

Eastcoast will let me buy a standard ticket for it, I hope that nobody is relying on it!

This is the Cumbrian Mountain & Coast Statesman railtour, operated by WCRC. I have no idea why it is showing up on EC's website, but it is not a public train. AFAIK it is hauled by Class 47s or 57s.
