Yes, this one at 0841, and as @Trackman has already noted, it's intended to be just for Manchester City supporters.

I suppose a Manchester United charter train would be better being organised by London UndergroundYes, this one at 0841, and as @Trackman has already noted, it's intended to be just for Manchester City supporters.

For the record I've no interest in football full stop, never mind either team in question. But the Avanti trains out of Man Picc after a United game seem to be a lot busier than they are when Man City are at home in my experience.
Nice one.
RTT has the ECS move as Diesel/Electric starting with diesel (I assume a 67) then at Stafford pathed as electric. Not sure what is going on there.
WCRC diesels take the coaches from Burton with a loco change at Stafford
It's a tired old trope that Mancunians are all City fans.I suppose a Manchester United charter train would be better being organised by London Underground

Old Trafford does fit 20,000 more than the Etihad. So you get lots of United supporters from elsewhere along with the more local ones.

I went to school in Gtr Manchester in the 90s - there were more Bolton fans than City.

Fair enough. That's a good point I suppose if Old Trafford is significantly bigger. I've been there for the Rugby League final in the past, and it certainly feels like a very big ground.
I went to school in South Manchester in the 2010s, plenty of Man City fans there, but plenty of United, Liverpool and people like me that didn't give a stuff. Admittedly it was a selective school, so will have had a far wider catchment that most. I came from outside Greater Manchester, and a boy in either the year or two years below me travelled in from York every day!
Was the last Man City Wembley charter a top and tail Class 67?
I bet Bolton were above them in the league back then!
