TransPennine had also been running some bus services last Sunday as well as railway ones, past 15:00 they started using buses regulary. I am not sure why they do this, perhaps because of higher traffic around the Salford area making it harder for them to be able to reverse.
Great to see newer trains in Victoria on the day. What suprised me was how quiet Victoria was, compared to the station on a weekday. Also the 158 units are becoming rare, I saw one two car tpx 158 on the day, other services were 185's.
What was also interesting was that the 185's did not use their automated systems, instead the train manager read out the service details. Perhaps this was because Victoria is not listed in the computer system they use for the announcements.
