Wow - rare outing for 12814, thanks Spartacus. I have just received an email from the 'coaching stock' group saying the consist is: 12802 12706 12805 12704 11502 and 68034 - no mention of 12814. Can anyone confirm whether 12814's on this or not? Are there any sightings of it en route? Thanks again Spartacus for the heads-up.
Spartacus was on the money! It was 12814, running with the rest of TP02.
It had another outing today, Manchester International Depot - Carlisle, then down to Crewe, and back to Manchester International Depot via Wilmslow.

I saw the combo at Gatley, whilst out on my daily walk. Happy days! But I only just got there in time: it left Crewe 1 min early, but was 30 early through Gatley. The actual timings for Sandbach, and points north, only appeared on RTT after it had thundered through Gatley. A consolation for yesterday, when early running caused me to miss it by four minutes.
