TPE Nova 3 - routes

[John Luxton]

Which routes are Transpennine Express Nova 3 sets operating on? As far as I can see by searching round my local station Liverpool Lime Street just appears to have one Scarborough departure early in the day with no corresponding return working without a change at York. The Nova 3s seem quite difficult to pin down on RealTime Trains as well.

Currently mostly Scarborough - York services, with a few extras across the hills to/from Manchester.

At present they’re mostly working between York and Scarborough. Believe there are more diagrams across the Pennines (though couldn’t confirm if they’ll be going all the way to Liverpool on those extra diagrams or just to Manchester) from the December timetable change.

Thanks for feed back looks like I will have to do the early Liverpool to Scarborough and back to York option to try one out. It is just a lot of publicity for them seemed to suggest a regular Liverpool to Scarborough service.

That was the original plan but they never took over that many workings due to traincrew knowledge.

There are a few more visits to Liverpool and Manchester from the December timetable change (but not many).
