Northern Rail Strike- Cumbrian Coast Class 37

[Carl Irving]

Does anybody know if the strike action on Monday 26th March will mean the scheduled working diagrams for the loco hauled services will be changed from Tuesday 27th March until Saturday 31st March.

Normally Mon, Weds and Friday Class 68s do Diagram 1
Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday Class 37s do Diagram 1

Will this pattern be flipped due to the fact diagram 1 will not be operating on the Monday because of the strike.

I want to try to find out if the 515 Carlisle TO Preston and the 1003 Preston To Barrow In Furness will still be a class 37 on Tuesday March 27th

I was thinking the same thing. Is there not a strike on Thursday too? That would mean the diagram reverting back by Friday.

 

[Carl Irving]

yeah there is another strike on Thursday, I am off work on Tuesday and want to go back on the 37 for old times sake whilst they are still around, what I dont want to do is commit and buy my tickets to then see some class 68s turn up as this happened to me last Weds.
