Will Trent Valley trains be useable on Monday?

[AndrewE]

After a 10-day posession I guess there has been plenty of time to get the railway ready to hand back as planned - or a lot could have gone wrong!

Has anybody got a feel for whether trains might be running to the timetable on Monday morning? It's one of the TV stoppers that I shall might be using...
Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the helpful replies... not!

In fact all the LNR Trent Valley trains were cancelled today so it's a good job we had decided not to risk trying to travel and found other things to do. I saw that lots of Avanti trains were badly delayed too, apparently due to power supply problems near Rugby.

What a shame our railway is so unreliable...

Looks like the problem was between Colwich and Stafford, so Avanti sent some trains from Crewe via Kidsgrove and Stoke (eg some Glasgow services) as well as via Bescot.
However there were Avanti services on the usual route at a reduced frequency.
Manchester-Euston via Stoke wouldn't need diverting, but were caught up in the disruption.
It would be interesting to know if the Evero 805 services (from Chester/North Wales) ran on diesel through the section.
