Lancashire Day Ranger you can do Liverpool to Manchester. North West one that allows Liverpool to Leeds is a 7 day.
Another one that is quite a good day rover / ranger ticket is the Cheshire one Liverpool, Manchester, Crewe Stoke on Trent.

It hasn’t and may be out tomorrow... 68023's set has suffered a serious failure to the running gear on one of the coaches whilst working 1F60 sadly.
I take it that isn't the one that's just come out?It hasn’t and may be out tomorrow
Not slot into the diagram from 1E41 as above to fill the gap?Yes It’s TP07 which should replace one of today’s sets
Thanks for that. It’s 68022 on 1E41. Pleased you like the timetableIt looks as though 1E41, the 14:54 LIV-SCA, will be starting from MCV (at 15:30) with a Mk5 + 68 set: ECS viewed on the Ordsall chord about to enter MCV, but couldn't see which one it was. So all four should be out again, hopefully.
Loco on the Scarborough end, by the way.
PS I forgot to say: thanks very much, SJpowermac, for the timetable simplifiers - much appreciated!
Just out of interest what was wrong with it??It hasn’t and may be out tomorrow

To be fair, we're used to 180s around this part of the world......Obviously, on the scale of CAF failures, smoke pouring from one bogie on a coach in passenger service isn't "serious" at all....

It isn’t really the fault of the train if train crew isolate the service brakes and don’t release the parking brakesObviously, on the scale of CAF failures, smoke pouring from one bogie on a coach in passenger service isn't "serious" at all....
And good to hear no serious damage doneIt isn’t really the fault of the train if train crew isolate the service brakes and don’t release the parking brakes

Agreed and looking forward to another trip on this one soon.And good to hear no serious damage done
Is the 13th set the one in maintenance or is it the 12th one?12/13 sets will be in service, 1 set on maintenance, 7 are required for the Liverpool - Scarborough route which with cover all workings and there are 7 diagrams required to cover the Airport - Redcar route which will be covered by the other 5 sets with 2 diagrams being worked by 185’s.
The way I read this is:Is the 13th set the one in maintenance or is it the 12th one?
It isn’t really the fault of the train if train crew isolate the service brakes and don’t release the parking brakes
The way I read this is:
13 sets built
7 in use daily to Scarborough
5 in use daily to Redcar
1 on maintenance.
You are right about the Redcar extension, that definitely came after the order for the Nova 3 sets. An order for another couple of sets would make a lot of sense.That's like what I've seen previously, and always wondered why they didn't just order 15 sets (money?), so as to keep the carriage numbers/reservations/set swaps, between the same formation?
Or were these ordered prior to the extension to Redcar, which has stretched the availability of the 68/CAF sets, requiring the 185s to stay on that route?
The hopelessly optimistic May 2018 timetable had 6 diagrams for the basic Scarborough service and 6 diagrams for the basic Middlesbrough service, which matched the 12 from 13 plan. Then reality hit home, so there are no longer enough sets!That's like what I've seen previously, and always wondered why they didn't just order 15 sets (money?), so as to keep the carriage numbers/reservations/set swaps, between the same formation?

Thanks very muchFirst three diagrams from sight, fourth from RealTimeTrains (and definitely unconfirmed as of 0900).
Things can change during the day, so worth keeping an eye on the TPE website
