The unit to form the 20.30 Liverpool Lime Street was on the block of platform 5 , next thing the 20.09 arrival from NT service to Manchester Piccadilly was placed on top of this unit , one big problem this unit isnt due out till 21.02

The traincrew of the TFW service then had to go in search of the Northern Traincrew to move the set onto an adjacent platform , this adjacent platform happened to be platform 6 which was vacant through all of this .

The booked platform for the TfW is platform 6 and the Northern Train is booked for Platform 5.

Seems the unit off a Swansea service was used to run the Liverpool, when that unit is booked to go to platform 3A and then to shunt to the sidings. When the train from Swansea arrived, the unit for the 19:20 to Leeds would have occupied platform 6.
