5Q32 ran with 397003 which I caught up with at Gatley, I should hopefully be getting 5Q33 at Stockport later as well.

Nice photo!
Did this mean the temporary halt on CAF Civity running is over or are they having dispensation to move them?

Does anyone know if any 397s will be out tomorrow? I'm hoping to get out for some train photography and I'm yet to catch to any of TPE's new trains on runs

397004 didn’t make it to Longsight as Alstom could not accommodate with barrier vehicles so it will remain at Crewe.

I managed to catch that one both coming into Crewe then heading back out again. Any idea when the other Class 397 at Crewe will be moved to Manchester?

There was a Class 397 half out of the MID shed at 1225 today.
There was also a DRS Class 37 and and a Northern Belle liveried Class 57, ROG (Rail Operations Group) operated i presume, on different roads outside the front of the shed.
Any ideas what's happening? Maybe a stock move back to Crewe or something else!

The 37 isn't connected to anything with the stock, thats using the lathe at Longsight.
Seems the 57 maybe connected to the 397's, as again the paths for the 397 testing are showing up as been operated by Rail Operations Group, so I suspect maybe the thunderbird for the 397 testing, happy to be proven wrong however.

Sounds very plausible to me, thanks, andy

The overhead wiring in the shed was permanently isolated a number of years ago when it lay empty and it is taking a while to be reinstated so the 397 has to dragged to the live wiring to go out on test runs or do any pan up testing.

Ahhh, didn't realise that the overhead was isolated as we used to take the Class 390s into MID for mods and such like, but that was a while back now and before Alstom took over all shunt moves at Longsight.

All quiet on the Class 397 front.
