Not looking good tomorrow. According to TPE ‘Journey Check’ there are the following alterations:

1E23 0556 Liverpool-Scarborough
1F60 09:41 Scarborough-Liverpool
both cancelled throughout due to a shortage of train conductors.

1E37 12:56 Liverpool-Scarborough
Cancelled between Liverpool and Manchester Victoria due to a shortage of train conductors. Train runs as
1E37 13:32 Manchester Victoria-Scarborough

1E39 13:56 Liverpool-Scarborough
Cancelled between Manchester Victoria and Scarborough due to a shortage of train drivers.

1F76 17:44 Scarborough-Liverpool
Cancelled throughout due to a shortage of train drivers.

I guess things might improve on the day...

Journey check is incorrect in terms of conductor cancellations.

Many thanks for that.

They have now updated and showing 1E23/1F60 as running but the alterations to 1E39/1F76 still standing.

Maybe that might improve too...

Would appreciate any updates on 68026 + set - I can travel home on 1E51 later if it lasts the full diagram!

Nova 3 in passenger service
This week has seen five different Nova 3 sets working: 68025/TP04, 68026/TP11, 68027/TP09, 68028/TP06 and 68030/TP12

In previous weeks 1E51/1P98 had been cancelled on a regular basis but this week they operated Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

The weekend saw a number of cancellations due to ‘a shortage of train drivers’. Sunday has been badly hit, at the time of posting both Nova 3 diagrams are shown as cancelled throughout.

All reasons for cancellations are taken from publicly available sources, I have no ‘inside’ information.

Any alterations or updates and I’ll happily amend:)

Thank you for those.
Not the best of days:
1F60 cancelled between Man Vic and Liverpool
1E37 cancelled throughout
1F75 cancelled throughout
1E51 starting at Man Vic (not necessarily with a Nova 3?).

Cancellations due to ‘a shortage of train crew’.
