RE: First Transpennine Express
When you see an eight car 350 on a service to Scotland from Manchester , you really do wonder how a three car 185 ever coped with the loadings .

Especially between Lancaster - Manchester

RE: First Transpennine Express
Is that the first time a 350 has been to Victoria?

RE: First Transpennine Express
In service i guess yes? The 350s don't have Victoria programmed in and TPE didn't offer any rail rplacement buses to Oxford road

TPE did use six car trains on the busiest workings.

One of the 185s has British legion decals applied and 350402/409 are the dual 350 diagram today

Absolute chaos at the moment .

There is a track defect in Standedge Tunnel and the possible diversionary route via Hebden Bridge has a track currently blocking the line in the Manchester / Rochdale area.

RE: First Transpennine Express
Loads of problems on the Manchester - Glasgow Line today, Trains only running between Manchester and Preston and some of them aint turning up, according to a member of staff at Picadilly the Line beyond Preston is flooded but hopefully someone else can confirm if this is indeed the case
