Avanti West Coast

RE: Avanti West Coast
Not sure if this was one but numerous trains were shown on journey check as calling additionally at Stockport. I seem to recall something about a problem with stopping the public joining if the doors were released for staff. There are Stockport staff only stops on 26th so may be worth watching

What seemed odd to me was that these trains were running via the Trent Valley when the booked daytime Blackpool Avanti services currently go via Birmingham which wasn't blocked.

Perhaps even more oddly there is a Glasgow-Blackpool Tuesday to Friday from 27 TO 30TH when the block is Stafford-Rugby.
