I knew that - what I meant was that some of the extended trains aren't missing from OTT altogether *and so* are the Manchester-Leeds trains which start later because the intermediate stop are covered by the new Rochdale locals. Slightly mystified as to why they only operate in the peaks, given that there is pressure from GM to re-instate a second train per hour at Moston.

0716 LIV - MIA and 0840 MIA - LIV are going to be formed of diesel units this morning.

Is this a busy service into Manchester in both direction will the drop from 4 coaches to 2 coaches this morning cause any problems , i do know the following Manchester Airport service can be busy into Manchester from Liverpool.

^ Have you not heard of Journey Check which shows short formations? https://www.journeycheck.com/northernrail

I can see already the 17:23 Piccadilly to Hazel Grove is to be formed of a 2 car DMU instead of the booked 3 car 323.
