TPExpress Man - Scotland

[Starmill]

Is there any historic reason why the last Edinburgh - Manchester service is a good 3 and a half hours later than the last Glasgow - Manchester service? Just seems to be a large oddity [even if there is a connecting 350 departing Glasgow to Lockerbie/Carlisle which can run back to Glasgow as ECS to give any Glasgow customers a later connection]

Until May last year the last train from Glasgow to Manchester was the 1709. There were I think just 4 services for many years.

I cannot imagine there are all that many people on the 1847 from Glasgow given it leaves just 7 minutes behind a considerably faster train.

Probably passengers on TPE-only tickets [or cheap advances]

If it stops at Lockerbie then there may be a fair few commuters .

From the May timetable change:

More of the Glasgow trains to stop at Motherwell.

No TPE Scottish trains will call at Manchester Oxford Rd or Wigan.

Express Preston - Manchester and vice versa.

Where can you find this?

Great news on both though. I came home on an 8-car TPE from Piccadilly to Haymarket last October and it was absolutely jam-packed with standing room only between Piccadilly and Preston, hopefully it reduces some of the congestion there.

I’m glad Motherwell is getting more calls, it certainly deserves more than it gets from TPE and Virgin.

Motherwell could do with more calls , usually see plenty getting off there at night , must be annoying connecting at Glasgow .
