Wouldn't argue with that but see post 430. Before the first attempt was deleted from RTT the last leg from Middlesboro shown in that post was the only train missing. I'm a little surprised all four ECS workings are via Runcorn - running one pair via Warrington for route retention might not be a bad idea.
There are no daytime moves to or from York Siemens and only one to amd from Ardwick so the peak strengthening looks to have gone down to one set.
