Southbound, probably!

Assume you mean 23/3 and 30/3 or have they really planned so far ahead?GTR running Saturday service from 23/9 then Sunday service from 30/9. Totally understandable and better to go with something they can sustain j
Wonder if they still expect you to obtain a 'Promise to pay' from one of the large touch screens at unstaffed stations, I certainly wouldn't be a fan of touching one of those at the moment! At staffed stations presumably they're getting a regular wipe of course

Northern for Monday has a much larger list:It’s a big list of affected routes tomorrow. I really do wish I could work from home, but it’ll be interesting to see what Piccadilly looks like tomorrow morning...
1 train per hour Liverpool-Wigan?
wouldn't want to be on that one.
Or Settle Jn - Carnforth (already happened!)No service for intermediate stations Kidsgrove - Stockport then?
Yet the Norwich-Sheringham 'Bittern' line has been almost business as usual for much of this week. Only difference being guards are not doing any revenue duties.Are people still using trains up there? Around the south they are absolutely dead except for a handful of key workers.
The Daventry - Inverness Bog Roll delivery being held up would add a certain level of surrealism to the the current situation!
Don’t think they are carrying bog roll. Should be ok.
Southbound, probably!
Where has this been confirmed please?
TFW will be operating a Sunday service but as the Sunday service starts later, there will be some enhancements in the morning before the normal start up
What's annoying about these cancellations is that it's now 22:00, and I'm yet to know what time I'll get to work in the morning.
I know that my train from Leeds to Manchester in just 8 hours is not on the list of cancelled TPE services, but all I have is that there are going to be cancellations on the lines I can get from there.
Roll on Northern rolling out a proper emergency timetable so I know what trains they can at least aim to run.
The sole Avanti service from Holyhead is the "peak" 0551 to Euston and the 1710 return.
Amazingly (from RTT) it originates from Crewe and is ECS to/from Holyhead to form these services.
The single Euston-Chester is at 1030 and 1435 return.
RTT isn't yet showing the Birmingham-Chester Avanti service, but it's on Avanti's web site.
The new Avanti timetable doesn't connect at all well with TfW's Sunday timetable, and there will be long waits at Crewe and Chester for North Wales.
The TfW LHCS services seem to have gone.
I'm surprised they have enough staff to run a Saturday timetable. South Western Railway are running a timetable similar to that of the strike.No they def mean 23/3 and 30/3 BUT exact times will not be available until the Sunday night before.
I would imagine some of those on the Salisbury to Basingstoke line might as I think they did during the strike timetable.Are there any stations that will get a better service than normal during emergency timetable operation?

perhaps it's to make it easier to cancel one of them? Like the Virgin / Avanti trains from Liverpool and Manchester to Euston calling at Crewe 6 mins apart (in the normal timetable.)TPE will be re-joining the stoppers either side of Huddersfield. Hull reduced to a shuttle to Leeds on most services (interestingly the first of the day in both directions runs through to/from Piccadilly serving most shacks between Leeds and Stalybridge).
Only 2tph off-peak between Huddersfield and Leeds... and they're spaced 3 minutes apart!

No idea, personally I think:
TL ought to cancel 2tph St Albans to Wimbledon and the Luton to Orpington peaks.
Both are quite important for hospital staff and GTR are well aware of this...
South of the core they are rather useful at the moment, north of it very much less so Kentish Town reversal is sensibleBut with the reduction of people travelling, I can't see why the Luton to Orpingtons need to run when they can be cut back to Kentish Town (They do this off peak so doing it peak isn't end of world) and starting 2 of the St Albans starters back at Luton as they be calling as booked with 2 services still starting from St Albans so it's not really as bleak as you make it out to be.
