This will be a major cause for complaint as most passengers do not like changing and its highly likely the Liverpool - Preston service will not call into platform 1 or 2 necessitating a walk across the station from one of the high numbered platforms .

It's the transfer of the 6 156's to TPE and the 6 extra 319's which has caused the change in the plans.

I do agree about Preston. I remember once coming back from Blackpool and the Liverpool service was cancelled between Blsckpool and Preston. The Liverpool service started from one of the bay platforms at the south end at Preston - not good when carrying lugguage.
