Hi all, new poster here.
I've noticed since the initial XC related discussion within this topic from January, when the new timetables were uploaded, that XC have (according to what's on RTT) made further tweaks to the changes they're planning to make. I thought some people may find it useful if all XC changes were detailed here, so I've made this summary based off of what's changing to services through Chesterfield, regardless of whether the service is booked to call or pass non-stop.
The
Mon-Fri changes I've noticed are as follows in chronological order and I've also included details about what the change to the service is. I hope it's of interest.

Notes:
1. Currently, 1M83 runs as 1V83 to Reading and then works 1E40 to York and 1M10 to Birmingham NS. From May 2025 1V83 becomes 1M83 which then forms a new 1E85 to Newcastle, a new 1V91 to Reading and finally a new 1M88 (20:42 ex Reading) to Man Picc. This means that 1E40 (11:45 ex Reading) + 1M10 (16:37 ex York) are withdrawn entirely.
2. 1S45 is extended from Dundee to Aberdeen on Friday's only, but this is not a new change.
3. The number of non-stopping/passing services through Chesterfield Mon-Fri will decrease from the current 23 per day to 12 per day.
Over on EMR, the only Mon-Fri change I can see is that the 21:41 Man Picc - Nottingham service (not via Stockport) gets recoded from 1L20 to 1L82. There are no changes to Northern and than a small handful of timing tweaks.
And finally, if you've read note 1 above, you now know that from May 2025 there's a new 1M88 20:42 Reading - Man Picc; the unit from this then goes ecs to Longsight as 5M88 at 00:30. However, the number of XC ecs workings onto Longsight remains at 4 both pre and post the timetable change. This is because 5M88 essentially replaces 5M54 which, instead of departing to Longsight at 19:12 as it currently does, will instead form a new 1G71 19:03 Man Picc - Birmingham NS.
