One more change is that the 2055 service from Chester to Crewe has been extended to Cardiff Central.

Always nice to see operating convenience trump passenger needs.

It is interesting the unit for the morning Wrexham-Liverpool is shown to detach at Croes Newydd North Fork off the existing ECS - presumably the crossover must be in the overlap of the platform signal

The units will split in Croes Newydd Loop. The Bidston will unit then shunt to P3 and Liverpool to P2. Note there is no Virgin 0700 Wrexham-Euston service showing.

This is simply because the May 2019 Virgin timetable is not yet available on RTT.

Very interesting is that the 0703 and 1927 CTR-LIV services start back at Wrexham General at 0635 and 1909 respecively.
Has there ever been a direct service between the two stations previously I wonder?

Another training run over the Halton Curve yesterday saw 175005 on the 1151 5Z75 Chester DMUD to Widnes Alstom Depot and 1258
5Z76 return.

Perhaps a clearance test for re-liverying them there once the 390s are finished?


RE: Transport for Wales Rail - boby32 - 08/02/2019 09:36

Does this mean that from May 2019, the Liverpool-Chester service will be booked as class 150?
