A visit to Liverpool on 5th March provided a brief chance to observe some train activity at the city's main railway terminus, Lime Street Station. TransPennine Express operate two services out of Liverpool Lime Street, to Scarborough via Lea Green, Manchester Victoria, Stalybridge, Huddersfield, Leeds, Garforth, York, Malton and Seamer, and to Edinburgh via Newton-le-Willows, Manchester Victoria, Huddersfield, Leeds, York, Darlington, Durham, Newcastle and Morpeth. The Scarborough service sees loco hauled trains in use, handled by Stadler Class 68 diesel locomotives with their distinctive Caterpillar engines. The Edinburgh service is operated by sleek Hitachi Class 802 bi-mode multiple units.
