Dave (LDECRexile) and myself were at Earlestown and 'caught' the first Pendo coming through around 0020. A couple of mins later a freight haul came through P3 Liverpool bound. Just before 0100 a headlight could be seen approaching from Newton and we thought here's the return trip. However it turned off towards P5 and sounded as if it was stopping. A couple of orangemen appeared where I was on P2 and I asked had they seen a Pendo on their travels. It appears they had just got off it, as apparently a call had been received at N-le-W that there had been some sort of isolation problem at Huyton and the Pendo was returning the long way round via Warrington BQ and there was no more activity for the night because of this, if I've got everything right.
Yes, later 390 runs "cancelled because of a problem with the electrified line" according to RTT.
I guess that's what testing is for.
More runs planned for tonight.
