And it seems to have happened again today. It presumably decsnts its passengers in the through platform first - and the WTT doesn't allow time for the shunt.Realtime Trains seems to have the 0914 arrival from Victoria as the only thing to use Platform 2 yesterday. It arrived 9 minutes late and couldn't have used Platform 4 as there's an 0917 Clitheroe booked out of there.
There must be a few "odd" trains / services at the moment.?As 175001 says they run just ahead or behind certain trains in the peaks. There is also one from Bolton bay and back.
