Felt like I was having deja vu passing by Macclesfield station earlier this afternoon, when a second Pendolino passed through northbound hot on the heels of the regular hourly London Euston - Manchester Piccadilly service.
Checking Realtime Trains, I discovered that it was 390121 working the following Longsight - Manchester - Rugby - Longsight trip:
1T90 11:41 Longsight - Rugby
1T91 14:21 Rugby - Longsight
Is anyone able to advise what the purpose of this working was? It piqued my interest with the return working following so closely behind the scheduled passenger service.
Thanks in advance.
