Does anyone know why Arriva were running so many two car sets between Llandudno and Chester and on to Manchester today? Travel today has been cramped to say the least.
Do they have set diagrams for 2 and 3 Cars?
Maybe all the 3 car-175's are in the wrong places due to the derailment in Shrewsbury over the weekend.
Yes. The diagrams are separate with the 3 Cars diagrammed to the busiest services as far as possible. Why I say as far as possible, this is difficult because the Diagram might be on a quieter service in the morning and a busier one later in the day or vice versa.Do they have set diagrams for 2 and 3 Cars?
Monday aside, it's rare to find anything other than the booked class and type on this route. If there's a shortage of 3-car units in Chester one night, then the diagrams out of Chester to South Wales the next morning usually get lumbered with 2-car sets. North Wales-Manchester gets priority for 175/1s.
