RE: Arriva Trains Wales
The Llandudno - Manchester services that presently terminate at Manchester Piccadilly seem to be in the news again .

The service after terminating goes in to Mayfield Loop and sits for a considerable amount of time . Arriva could actually get more out of these units if the service was actually terminated at Manchester Oxford Rd and sent back quicker .

The real reason for the use of Mayfield Loop is that the service was always intending to be extended to Manchester Airport , which now does not seem to be allowed to happen by Network Rail saying the paths belong to a service from the Calder Valley , which can only be introduced when the Ordsall Cord is built and up and running.
