With the WCML between Liverpool South Parkway and Crewe closed for engineering works Virgin Trains are diverting their Liverpool – London services via the Chat Moss route to Manchester and south to Crewe. This was long before the route was electrified so the Pendolinos had to be dragged by Class 57 Thunderbirds. Today you’re running one of these services starting light engine at Edge Hill and coupling up to a Pendolino in Lime Street station before running non-stop to Manchester.
