I find it fascinating watching the public reaction to the Nova 3. So many people look at them, the striking livery (foils) know how to show people this this is something totally different! I've heard people get on and say "wow, this is a nice train"! But the best was an elderly woman on platform...

68028 TP06 1E23*/ 1F60/ 1E37/ 1F74/ 1E51/ 1P98
68026 TP12 1F48/ 1E25/ 1F62/ 1E39/ 1F76/ 1J53
*1E23 started Manchester 16 late, due to no driver being available. Gen from FB
TPE journey check shows 1F60 (68026) terminating Man Vic with fault and 1E37 starting there, quotes load 5 so quick fix or another Nova 3?
1F60 0941 Scarborough - Liverpool
1E37 1256 Liverpool - Scarborough
Just after someone posted the very useful journey check link, it is not showing today's trains on there. No reports of 68026 in trouble so I assume someone decided to stop apologising for a bigger better train

RTT shows 5F48 today as coming out of Ardwick... That's normally a good (bad!) indication of a 185

However the other reports confirm 68, so did it stable Ardwick last night?
