08:54 Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough due 11:51 was terminated at Manchester Victoria.
It will no longer call at Stalybridge, Huddersfield, Leeds, Garforth, York, Malton, Seamer and Scarborough.
This is due to a shortage of train conductors.

Running as 5E29 09:30 Manchester Victoria to Leeds and then 1G29 10:27 Leeds-Scarborough. It’s a fast changing situation

See post 484
As to the rest of the day, things can change quickly but there are no current changes to the diagram. Worth keeping an eye on the TPE website.

1E53 21:15 MCV-SCA is cancelled this evening, Would assume that’s to balance up the sets as 68023 & TP07 have not moved from Scarborough all day.

Best day for a very long time on TPE today, and the first day the four 68 diagrams have run in their entirety - providing 1E53 (025), 1P92 (019), 1E51 (023) and 1P94 (022) finish their final journeys without drama. Very nice to see.

Good to hear; think all of the issues on TPE are finally starting to die down.

These are loud aren't they? Can hear the distant 'thump' a good mile or so away.

That's not right - they aren't the Sunday diagrams for a start and 68027 was on 1E29 with TP09.

Is the correct answer. The diagrams and allocations given are for Saturday!

Here are the trains being worked as of 12:20 on 05.01.2020

68023 1E35 11:52 Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough

68025 1F60 09:32 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street

68019 1F64 11:32 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street

68027 12:32 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street

All locos at the Scarborough end of the train.

My mistake! I copied down yesterday’s allocations instead of today’s by mistake. Today’s actual Sunday allocations are now there. Apology’s!

68022 1E41 1454 Liverpool Scarborough
68025 1E45 1654 Liverpool Scarborough

From sight
68027 1F54 0634 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street
68019 1E23 0627 Manchester Piccadilly to Scarborough

I understand
68022 1F52 0534 Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street

plus 1F50 0528 York to Liverpool I think is a 68 too.

Hope that helps.

Looks to me like these are the 68 diagrams for today (provided nothing happens..)
68027 + TP09 = 1E23 > 1F60 > 1E37 > 1F74
68022 + TP13 = 1F54 > 1E31 > 1F68 > 1E45
1F50 > 1E27 > 1F64 > 1E41
68023 + TP07 = 1E29 > 1F66 > 1E43

68022 & TP13 on 1F54 0634 SCA - LIV
68027 & TP09 on 1E23 0627 MAN - SCAR

68023 & TP07 worked 1D52 0534 SCA - LIV as far as MCV, cancelled there due to a rostering error, booked to work 1E29 from MCV to SCA though.
