TPE Mark 5A coaching stock progress

[DJH1971]

Longsight to Man Vic Cancelled "due to a problem at the depot".

185142 currently on the diagram this morning.

Not exactly a promising start to the new rolling stock then.

68026 and TP11 )

Are these running on the diagram? Thanks. I was going to try and take a trip later (just a quick MCV-LIV and back), but I won’t bother if it’s a 185.

 

[86247]

does anyone have the diagram for 68026 as hopefully I can get it today thanks

 

[gledhill56]

Guessing it will be working the full diagram which finishes at Manchester Piccadilly at 0120 in the morning? Presumably to make up for lost mileage yesterday.

[The Northern Star]

Are they? Genius says otherwise.

 

[driver9000]

68026/TP11 should pick up the diagram from 12:56 at Manchester Victoria (to Liverpool). 185142 currently working it.

There seems to be a '0S00' moving around Longsight TMD...

 

[The Northern Star]

Confirmed by multiple contacts that 68026/TP11 will be taking over 1F62 at MCV. It will then continue the rest of the diagram....

• 1F62 1041 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street (Dropping on at Victoria)
• 1E39 1356 Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough
• 1F76 1744 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street
• 1J53 2056 Liverpool Lime Street to Stalybridge

 

[The Northern Star]

5F62 has left 29 late...

 

[Mark Enderby]

Given there are 2 var paths from LO to LIV/MCV in the early morning, does this give an option to start the 68 at LIV or is a 185 kept at LO for the LIV start and the 68 head for MCV to take over the diagram? ... that's when things go to plan of course!

Mark

The plan is for a Nova 3 to run to LIV ECS to start the 0556, and then another set runs ECS to work the 0555 off MCV to LIV
There shouldn’t be any swapping of Cl185/Nova 3 when the diagram goes in properly

 

[The Northern Star]

The unit that the 68 is replacing has gone into P5 at MCV to form 9M09.
If the signaller has any sense, he will stick 5F62 in P4...

 

[Sprinter150]

That’s exactly what’s happened. Can confirm that it is 68026 and Mk5s. Still got the brand new train smell

First time TP11 has carried paying passengers.

 

[The Northern Star]

68026 is leading towards Liverpool Lime Street. Which means the set is the correct way round.

 

[86247]

just got on 68026 and tp 11 at lime street so looking forward to this the 68 sounds hellfire

 

[The Northern Star]

Nova 3 will be out this Friday for people wanting to book advance tickets. Same diagram as weekday.

 

[Ih8earlies]

Quick question.

How are the reservations being handled on these Mark 5A/68 services?

Coach A and B only as per the 185 seating numbers.

 

[DJH1971]

Are any further Liverpool diagrams planned?

Thanks so much for keeping us updated earlier. It’s actually really quiet on the move assuming you’re not in first class, but it does know how to start back up. Can’t upload the video as it’s too large, but here’s a (small file size) picture at MCV.

 

[The Northern Star]

Not for a month...

 

[sjpowermac]

Coach A and B only as per the 185 seating numbers.

So in First, best to sit in seat number 18 or above

No first class reservations currently - counted places only - not seat numbers.
