Could Norton Bridge works unlock extra paths?

Blimey, didnt think it was quite so early, presumably Etruria went then too.

No, it was specific. Two for Manchester, one for Liverpool and one Blackpool/Windermere each hour run as an extension of Euston-Crewe. I assumed it would be 2x350s splitting at Preston as LM was mentioned but it could be Blackpool/Windermere alternating each hour in which case Windermere platform would need extending. OR only run one unit north of Crewe.

Can't believe four trains an hour can be filled from Manchester to Euston.

I cant recall seeing any locations attached to any extra trains. I think SWT passenger at post#10 has the correct gen.

Any locations mentioned would be purely speculative as the paths would not have been allocated to a provider or a location.

Whatever paths the Norton bridge works unlock I can guarantee more dreary Crewe to Euston services forever squashed in between the current ones. I'd be more than happy to see alliance to run their trains between Blackpool and certain destinations which Cross Country cant reach such as weekday trains to Newquay, Eastbourne, Portsmouth & others.
