It is rare these days, but before Covid there was an hourly Manchester Airport-Newcastle service which was 802 operated. Also Northern used to operate a service from Wilmslow to Manchester Victoria with a 319 very late night a few years ago

Its been reported that 0518 Preston-Barrow, formed of 195104 and 195133, have derailed near to Grange Over Sands. https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/grange-over-sands-20240322/

Unfortunately not, as TPE have called at Rochdale(and Todmorden/Hebden Bridge) in the past. Happened several times when the normal route was closed and Northern were required to give up path to make it room.

323220 is back out in service, currently on Manchester-Crewe services

197110 has been stabed overnight at Piccadilly, instead if the booked 158. Its only just been noticed by the train crew that it would be a 5 car, so the 'booked' attachment isn't happening

That's because there has been lots of disruption in South Manchester today. There has been point failures at Marple, Cheadle Hulme and Longport plus and unfortunate incident early this morning at Congleton

The following use Platform 12 during normal service: 0606 Crewe 0820 Buxton 1718 Stoke, the unit for this stables from 0825 1736 Crewe 1836 Crewe 1920 Buxton 1936 Wilmslow 2020 Buxton 2036 Wilmslow 2120 Buxton 2323 Hazel Grove On Sundays it tends to be used to stable units

After it "Thermal Event" last Friday 5th, 197104 was back out it service yesterday

Lots of overcrowding today, Sheffield United at Manchester City, and Manchester United at Nott Forest

It normally following the 17:06 Manchester Piccadilly-Crewe. That service gets looped at Sandbach to let both the XC and TfW pass. Yesterday it was early because the 17:06 running 17 late by Stockport it passed it there instead

Charles used it to travel to Manchester Victoria in late January

1V33 only got as far as the first signal out of Manchester Piccadilly this morning before coming to a stand. Limped back into the station about 30 minutes late

Platform 12 is occupied from 08:28 until 1718 with a Northern 331

It will be, but not until September I believe

1 of the 3 diagrams is now booked as 331, with the other 2 being 323s. Also the morning/evening peak extra is also booked as a 331
