Is 319421 still at Allerton?

Interesting to note the extra train per hour runs non-stop Liverpool - Huyton, then all stops to Wigan giving Eccleston Park and Bryn Sunday services for the first time in years. Does anyone know if these stations previously had a service on a Sunday? I know I don't recall theses stations having a 7 say service.

The December times have (mostly) been in OTT and RTT for some time. There is a summary of December changes in

but strangely doesn't mention the Bryn stops, or the all year hourly Sunday service on the Hope Valley.

Not sure, I've been away on holiday for a couple of weeks.

General use of the slow line at Huyton by Manchester bound trains seems to have ceased. RTT shows two trains yesterday, one for a Newcastle to pass, the other for no obvious reason and delaying the following Wigan line service.

Another strike announed for 8th November. RMT reportedly refusing to talk to Northern.

319442 has been reported having arrived at Allerton hauled by 37884. Not sure whether it was on Monday or yesterday.

Will this affect Merseyrail too or is it just Northern? Thanks.

Merseyrail, Anglia, SWR and Southern also affected. Mick Cash's statement to the media has implied he wants the strikes to cause a general election so that the railways can be nationalised under a Labour government. He'll be lucky!

No. It was taken away yesterday by 37884 to Long Marston.
