No, runs as 5S41 from Preston. Then either returns to Liverpool or fits in a return trip to Carlisle. Then returns to Preston.Is it in passenger service, 11:10?
Did the same run on Monday to Thursday all week and most of last week too. Even on Saturday.
Lots of people in the area which LNWR operate will also be pleased as their 350/4s will be arriving, hopefully some 319s can be taken out of service now although looking at wikipedia the 350/4s are helping the cascade of class 323s to northern, maybe some more 323s will be coming to northern soon.Can't be too long before we have one in revenue service now, which I'm sure a lot of people will be pleased about, not just on this forum!

Definitely, the people at LNWR also get all the 350s for some time until the 350/2s leave. Still sad that the 350/2s are leaving and getting replaced with aventras....A win-win all round then

Class 350/4s aren’t coming to replace 323s - they’re for capacity increase on existing lines only and to help with the withdrawal of Class 319s.
They’re also to be used to release the final 170 workings from Chase Line services. WMR have promised users on the Hereford Line that every service will be one carriage longer upon the December timetable change, but this is contingent on sufficient 350/4s arriving to allow it to happen.Class 350/4s aren’t coming to replace 323s - they’re for capacity increase on existing lines only and to help with the withdrawal of Class 319s.

Pretty rapid fleet rollout if so, which sounds promising: I've been wondering whether there'll be many class 397s in use at the end of November, or whether to stick to changing onto the Virgin service at Preston on my way up to Edinburgh from Manchester at that time.Suggestions earlier on here that the 397s are to be rolled out on 5th November. Fully in service from the December chsnge.
I doubt 319s will go, there are too many of them now for /4s to replace them all. They'll be used for strengthening and 319s will stay until the new stock arrives.
22nd of November... Keep that in your diary...
Clue: It's not the date for passenger service...
That's already happening if you haven't noticed but wrongIt's the date 185s return to several diagrams for on the Scottish runs? I don't know just joining in the guessing.
Is that the date 185s return for all diagramsThat's already happening if you haven't noticed but wrong

ShhhhhhhA media thing with Nova 1, Nova 2 & Nova 3 all together at Liverpool Lime Street.
Looking at the 24th... Subject to change.Whats the chances of a Nova 2 entering service on Tuesday Nov 5th?
