TPE Mark 5A coaching stock progress

[73001]

Right okay, Genius was wrong this morning. It had the DT leading up to Liverpool... I won't bother giving gen anymore then?

I dont think anyone is being critical mate, I for one appreciate any info that comes out

 

[EE Andy b1]

Not being critical at all, the set went back via Warrington Central last night so had to go round Ordsal chord this morning, hence set is right way round again.
Just an observation!

 

[The Northern Star]

Aye. I got up ag 0500 especially for you people!

 

[xotGD]

I’m not convinced everyone would have got on a 185.

Ah, but none of the cranks would have been on it if it was a 185!

All being well I hope to get lineside tomorrow for a couple of phots. Working near the Trans-Pennine line has its benefits.

 

[tpjm]

The ECS move from Longsight to MCV is a tactical one. We have the option to run via the chord directly if the set is in the correct orientation, or spin it by going through Water St and Ordsall Lane Jn and reversing at Salford Crescent (subject to any possessions)

The loco certainly isn’t leading today, as it went around the Ordsall curve this morning.

Can’t rely on genius for formation info with the loco hauled stock.

[The Northern Star]

Terminating at Man Vic. Problem on the train.

 

[Erniescooper]

TP11 and probably 68026 should come off Longsight to pick up the rest of the diagram

Terminating at Man Vic. Problem on the train.

Caught the 12.06 from Leeds to Huddersfield and it seemed fine on the journey. The ride quality was a bit rickety in places, not sure if that's the track though around Heaton Lodge. The seats don't line up well with the windows in some places but it's a nice train, no doubt about it.

 

[The Northern Star]

Whole diagram canceled

 

[Solent&Wessex]

No driver.

 

[EE Andy b1]

Still going!

 

[tpjm]

No driver.

Problem with spare unit actually.

 

[Solent&Wessex]

Problem with spare unit actually.

I correct myself. The diagram is showing no driver rostered after MCV at 1430.

But also I note a 5H88 from MCV to Longsight at 1307 which has comments about a fault with the DT on LHCS TP09.

 

[The Northern Star]

If there wasn't gonna be a driver, why put a path in for TP11 to take over the diagram?

 

[BMIFlyer]

I correct myself. The diagram is showing no driver rostered after MCV at 1430.

Ignore that no driver thing. Yesterday it showed no driver rostered all day and it still ran.

Yes the DT has a windscreen washer issue.

Errr windscreen washer isn't the full story.

 

[BMIFlyer]

Errr windscreen washer isn't the full story.

For the first set it is.

For the second set it’s a different fault.

 

[FFFC 57]

For the first set it is.

For the second set it’s a different fault.

Oh right what's up with TP11?

 

[bb21]

Now now people. Be nice to each other please.

 

[daikilo]

Oh BB21, whilst I agree with your sentiment, guys please do provide what info you can. Presumably TP chose not to provide a 185 backup today, which could have been OK if it was actually TP11, but if that is a non-starter, not so good.

Wasted an hour at Garforth this afternoon, waiting to photograph the 13.56 ex LIV. Learnt it was cancelled throughout "due to a problem with the train", 17.44 ex Scarboro also cancelled, I expect the two hour gap went down well on a hot Bank Holiday Monday. Was there really no spare 185 at Ardwick?

 

[The Northern Star]

68025 with mk5 set outside (road nearest mainline) with CAF people walking away Tp09 and 68027 bring moved into the main shed at Longsight now
Plus another set inside

 

[The Northern Star]

Genius is saying 68027 and TP09....

 

[The Northern Star]

5F48 been canceled from Longsight this morning....

 

[childwallblues]

5F48 been canceled from Longsight this morning....

My plan scuppered this morning thank you.

 

[sjpowermac]

Looks like a switch of diagram but the train is ‘no report’ between Longsight and Ardwick Jn, so could just as easily be a 185. Can anyone confirm?

04:08 Longsight to Liverpool Lime Street

EDIT: Unit off Ardwick using the loco hauled path.

 

[sjpowermac]

Should emphasise, the above is just from looking at Real Time Trains, please don’t make any plans on unofficial ‘gen’

 

[The Northern Star]

0556 off LIV is 185147
