It would be so great if The Trans Pennine route via Chat Moss Line would be great to try out The Class 124, on which they ran on, until it was transferred to Sheffield route via Edale in early 1979.

I used to ride the Class 124 between St Helens, Junction & Manchester, Victoria, until spring of 1979, when they were taken over by the Class 47's & of course The Deltics.
