I believe it was 6L45 that failed having just departed Hope Sidings.

From Piccadilly it is 2B02 presumably to fit the pattern. The other way I think is the Crewe train but really could be anything.

I am led to believe that the gaps in calling pattern will be addressed in the June timetable.

Blimey, that would probably be the first time 1B66 running to time following 6L45 if so. Interestingly, the TPRs at Dore South Jn reference the first movement as Up depart Dronfield and then second movement depart from Dore West Jn. Slightly more generous than the potential reality?

Has the Daventry to Trafford Park Euro terminal started running? Appears to be a DRS 4K43 / 4K44 workings (although not sure why the Manchester bound train is a 4K when it should be a 4H). Mildly interesting that it sits in Chelford Loop for over an hour and a half, presumably because the 1240...

Interesting, I feel like that one has been sat in the WTT for a while.

I think that was possibly due to the Sunday two-track around Piccadilly - so couldn't easily get to Manchester Airport. Was standardised back to Airport for Dec '22 although probably doesn't run at the moment.

TPE would have been uploaded already, given that their TPS code is [EA]. So whenever they get uploaded should be accurate.

Definitely seems like an old base since it still shows Castlefield junction. The Stockport one CM02 still shows Stockport Viaduct when that location was replace by the specific shunt signals a few years back. Planners used to get asked which locations needed to be on the WTTs, but guess that...

The existing base platforming for Piccadilly for Dec 22 was 95% done as part of the MRTF group. Don't necessarily recall them linking in with MPSCC for their thoughts to be honest. LTP/STP would have then had to pick up the base from there. As others have said though it depends on the station...

Would hopefully be more straightforward once CrossCountry return to 2tph as it might give slightly more flexibility on the fast line platforms. The east lines would be easier if TPE ran stock that could enable permissive working on the buffer end too.

The Crewe train (xx.40-xx.06) could easily move from P8 to P10 throughout most of the day, the problem being though that it would then interact with the Crewe stopper via Airport departing P9 xx.36 and with the TFW arrival P10 xx.11. All TPR compliant but I would guess it would be better...

The planners at MK have the relevant information for Lime St Controls at Liverpool - no idea why they never got included with the TPRs though. Edit: on a similar note, TPRs are missing information for Blackpool North as well

BHI = Birmingham International CA'd = cancelled VSTP = very short term planning

The one the other week when Varamis were complaining on Twitter that BHI was occupied - the outbound 1S04 was actually CA'd due to being foul of multiple possessions (as well as being occupied). It seems Varamis VSTP all their schedules so maybe they ignore what is offered/rejected.
