What does the unit on this service do when it gets to Manchester, does it stable in Manchester overnight or does it return to Central Rivers

Correct. Usually arrives on 8 then shunts out and back in on top of the Bournemouth arrival on 4. Then both go to New St with the Bournemouth set locked out

The shunt only happens during the week, basically just to free a platform instead of occupying one for a long period of time.

Sorry yes. Getting all the ins and outs mixed up.
It's the 2127 thats the double set. Formed off the 2058 arrival from Exeter and the 2035 arrival from Bournemouth. The Bournemouth arrival shunts out
