Forthcoming Timetables

It is my intention to create another modern TT for Piccadilly based on the complete service re-cast we will see next week.

This will be be more like the 2015 era TT, with most south Manchester services returning to the main station to reduce congestion through Castlefield following the 2018 debacle, but with some new services and of course the Ordsall Chord being in use.

Big changes include a complete re-write of both TPE and Northern services, more traffic through Bolton (almost every Preston bound service now runs via Chorley with only a Wigan NW-Victoria peak time shuttle via Chat Moss) and the return to use of the former Manchester International Depot for Class 331s - renamed New Bank St LMD (long term will see more stock using it, but for now I think it's two diagrams of two units per day).

I am using a non-strike weekday in January as the base, using RealTimeTrains/OpenTrainTimes, the WTT and Northern Piccadilly driver diagrams and can then amend it for any STPs that occur closer to the time.

Ah, I didn't realise you were doing one - hope I'm not treading on your toes! Thanks for the offer, but I'll stick with my (terrible) workflow for now. That may change when I get to the stage of adding all the 2A/2Ks each with subtly different timings on every trip!

New St 2023 has most trains in (overnight berthing at New Street caused a massive headache!). Just waiting on a few more freight details then will start testing. If anyone wants to give it a test run, please do let me know.

Wembley Main 2023 remains on the cards once this is finished.

Thanks for the offer, and to the two of you who have PMed me regarding this. I'll be in contact soon.

Is timetable writing a hobby of yours? You seem to produce so many.

Another update for where I am on timetables. Quite a lot of planned timetables were planned on my last update. Now with Crewe Released I have expanded my territory.. After talking to a member here I have decided on a plan although this will take a while to successfully complete. I’m aiming to do a complete chain of timetables from Wembley ML to Warrington (Via Rugby/Trent Valley/Stafford). With a missing section of WCML at Preston, I’ll continue forward and include one for Carlisle. As for Motherwell which I also been thinking of to add I have decided for now to leave out. This mainly due to the works for the Carstairs Remodelling which has changed the layout completely.
I appreciate others will have timetables planned/working on and I do respect them.
