Yes. Mid-Cheshire, Buxton and Glossop lines are among those which have revised timetables between October and December. However, Chat Moss services are mainly operated by 100mph EMUs and still timed for 75mph DMUs so the 319s not being able to keep to 75mph DMU timings during leaf fall is worrying.
