1F62 should be a 68 & Mk5A set from Manchester Victoria (1256) if all goes to plan.

That would certainly salvage something of my trip to Liverpool;)

I’m guessing that with these being ‘pass out’ runs for drivers/guards then everyone is keen for as many as possible to run.

Pic below of 1F62 at York yesterday.

Not being critical at all, the set went back via Warrington Central last night so had to go round Ordsal chord this morning, hence set is right way round again.
Just an observation!

But what is the "right way round"? I'm confused now as I thought the train left Liverpool yesterday morning with the loco leading, which is why I went to Garforth for the eastbound train at 15.30 (which didn't turn up). Had I known it was the other way round, I would have gone to Mirfield for the westbound!

Yeah found it. With numerous 5F62 paths in Genius it was causing confusion. showing as approaching Newton LW with 68027 and TP09 as the formation

Right folks, so it is not carrying passengers in to Lime Street but will be operating the 13:56 out? Just on a train to Lea Green, will bail out at Huyton if that is the case .

1E39 13:56 LIV-SCA according to Genius replacing 185128 which is currently on that diagram

So that will see it on 1F76 17:44 SCA-LIV and finally 1J53 20:56 LIV-SYB

Eyeball report, 68027 on 1356 LIV-SCA.
(Getting bowled big style by 185128 certainly brought back memories of the old days!).

Just had a nice little trip to Manchester on that one. Seats are firm as was the ride. Felt very spacious with lots of light through the big windows. Acceleration was amazing at times, like being on a Metro.
