Class 397 TPE "Nova 2" Diagrams

[EE Andy b1]

That's because 350404 and 350405 are going south on Saturday via Chat Moss then south.

So 350404 already in LNR livery.

St Andrews Day.... A day to look forward too....

That's my day!

Any logic behind the order in which units go? I guessed 350401 went first since it is numbered as 1, but that pattern hasn't followed.

It usually depends on exactly where they are in the maintenance cycle, so fairly random rather than any numerical order.

1 coach of this unit has not had its new livery applied to 1 side. I was on it today from Preston to Manchester Airport and back.

Haha! Message me and I'll let you into a secret then.... Ahhh!

Sorry, someone has falsely put in a Longsight time in the data feed.

It's getting closer.....

Imagine if it had been today or yesterday with the overhead power issues at Lancaster.

Rearranged our weekend plans to fit in a short trip to Piccadilly and back on the 0810 from MIA. Still negotiating to see if we can make it a return to Preston...
