A short visit to Lime Street in the mid-afternoon of Saturday 3 February. There were no Avanti, East Midlands or LNW/WMT services running due to an ASLEF drivers strike. Other services were potentially affected by a related overtime ban, however Northern, TfW and TPE were running a fairly normal service. More variety you might expect with TPE using three types of stock and Northern running five. TfW seem to be mostly 197s in this area now.
