On my way east on a MIA TPE towards Piccadilly and just met an Avanti 390 heading towards Oxford Road.
I was rather surprised, where will it be going?

Glasgow. They're diverted via Bolton due to engineering works. Calling at Crewe, Wilmslow and Stockport en route but apparently not Man Picc anymore as they were causing problems with dispatch and dwell times on platform 13/14.
Scheduled diversions via Bolton (AM) and Chat Moss (PM)

Not sure of the exact circumstances here but when I've seen them there in the past they've been on diversion when the main WCML between Crewe and Wigan/Preston has engineering closures
Edit: Appears from some posts just before me that I was right.

Thanks.
I used Chat Moss instead of the Warrington Central line as that too is closed at Birchwood.

Bridge replacement of the WCML line over the Fiddlers Ferry line. These diversions also used during the Acton Grange blockade. I think Trafford Park re-signalling is this weekend too.

In normal times there are/were ECS Pendolinos positioning overnight to/from Longsight via Bolton or Chat Moss, from Preston/Lancaster, routed via Oxford Road.
The equivalent Edge Hill ECS service from Preston run via Crewe (reverse), rather than the direct route via Huyton.

Should be the last day unless there’s a hitch at WBQ or Acton Grange
Thanks for getting back to me, will keep an eye out for future dates
Great photo. I don't suppose you have the high resolution photo for my 1080p laptop background do you please?
I sure do will get it sent over to you!
Thank you kindly.

You might get lucky on the late May bank holiday.

Do the Scotland bound Avanti trains stop at Piccadilly when they are diverted?

IHG (who own, among others, Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza) took it over from Principal a few years ago and rebranded it to their luxury arm Kimpton
I was underwhelmed by the restaurant "Refuge" on a sort of birthday date around the time of the rebranding - let's hope it's improved since. Photo is excellent by the way.
Used to, set down only.
