Rather a specific enquiry if anyone from that part of the world can help, but when the Club trains ran in the mid 90s from Southport and Blackpool into Manchester, to what depot would loco and stock go to during the day for general servicing etc before reappearing for the evening return? Longsight? Newton Heath? Another? Any help appreciated, thanks .

Did the sets just overnight at Southport, Blackpool North and Barrow?

Given the coaching stock was allocated to Edge Hill and the locos to Crewe Diesel I guess there must have been some ECS and light loco moves to get everything back to the respective depots periodically.
