This was at North Western not Wallgate.

Are you sure?

This doesn't show any movement into platform 6 between 1100 and 1900.


Movements through Wigan North Western between 1230 and 1330

[Screenshot taken from TrackIt! shows no movements at Wigan North Western through platform 6 between 1230 and 1330 - movements are all Avanti and Northern services]

331023 on 1N84 1017 Liverpool Lime Street to Blackpool North at 1100 - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W30021/2024-02-18/detailed#allox_id=0

331016 on 5Y69 1759 Allerton Depot to Blackpool North at 1900 - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:49176/2024-02-18/detailed#allox_id=0

The latter shows nothing through platform 6 in between - https://trackit.uppyjc.co.uk/TrackI...=TD&Detailed=True&Reverse=True&Estimate=False - as 5Y69 is shown 7 hours 36 minutes after 1N84.

[Excerpt from TrackIt! shows that 5Y69 passed through platform 6 at Wigan North Western 7 hours and 36 minutes after 1N84, suggesting nothing used platform 6 in between.]

Yes,
I was waiting for an Avanti service from platform 4 when it was there.

Could it be you mistook the Class and it was a Class 323. Northern have a number of Class 323s that have joined them that are in West Midlands Railway livery.

Completely different colour scheme and livery to the LNR 350s though.

I would suspect that a 350 got there unplanned. Apart from 150s and 230s, nothing else carries the LNWR livery (I think).

But how would a train move from Liverpool or Crewe without any traces?
There's literally nothing on RTT indicating that this happened (normally for any journey longer than a depot move a VSTP schedule shows up).
Nor any reason as to why a 350 would've been in Wigan.
