WCML Diversions via Manchester

[Drimnagh Road]

The last two weekends of October (24th/25th & 31st/1st Nov) sees services on the West Coast Main Line diverted between Crewe & Preston, around by Manchester.

Anybody know if any of these services are booked to be hauled by 57/3s? I know Virgin have a lot more Voyagers these days so unsure if they have enough to cover these diversions. Any info appreciated.

There is one train diesel hauled. From 7th November the diversions are WTT trains of which no Class 1 train is a 57.

Wtt? :?

WTT = Working timetable, as opposed to the public timetable!

Ok, cheers

Thanks for that, any idea what service that is? I'm over there next week wouldn't mind a photo. Cheers again
