First day of season ticket tomorrow and the 7.24 TPE to Manchester from Preston is missing but is there on Tuesday. Has anyone any idea why this is so?
driver9000 seems to have given the likely cause of the rescheduling for tomorrow (note, it is running, but starting from Preston a bit earlier than usual) - that being engineering works preventing TPE getting units into a position to run a service from Glasgow or Carlisle in the morning.
After Carlisle, I suspect the next crew depot is at Preston, hence starting there rather than "in the sticks" at Lancaster
I thought Freightliner Drivers drove the trains to / from Scotland? I don't think TPE have a depot at Carlisle.
Out of interest do TPE have any 350s stranded North of the Block and if so is a 185 capable of hauling these out or would an X move with Loco and barriers be needed?
National Rail web site is showing departure from Lancaster to Manchester at 0655, calling at Preston 0715 and notes it is disrupted. From past experience I expect that it will actually be starting from Preston which appears to be what Real Time trains thinks.driver9000 seems to have given the likely cause of the rescheduling for tomorrow (note, it is running, but starting from Preston a bit earlier than usual) - that being engineering works preventing TPE getting units into a position to run a service from Glasgow or Carlisle in the morning.
