Looking at that timetable I still can't work out how the drivers will get sufficient breaks at London. Generally 30 to 40 minutes isn't going to cut it taking into account preparation time and late running etc. Similarly arriving at London and having a longer break until the next service would lead to shifts of well over 10 hours which would be unlikely to work.
Yet the website suggests the only driver depot will be Blackpool , none at London etc so does anyone know how they are going to work the crewing????
The only thing I can think of that is plausible looking at the timetable would be that the train crew would do an out and back trip (except the last ex Blackpool and first ex London departures), with the train crew on the final ex Blackpool overnighting in London so as to work the first ex London back.
