Grand Central Railway - Metroline1511 - 14/04/2018 17:04
I couldn't find a thread on Grand Central so decided to create one.
Anyway, according to the Railway Gazette, the first Grand Central class 180 has just been refurbished. I wonder how long it will be before they are all refurbished. I understand the Sutherland service has recently become operated by 180s, like the Bradford service is.

Regrettably, GC have abandoned the idea of the Blackpool to Euston service, presumably the COVID-19 has made it an unprofitable concern.
Maybe it will recommence sometime in the future.

Yes this is a pity.
Having seen a few class 91 coaches and a loco near Crewe on the August Bank Holiday, I had started to look forward to riding it but never mind.

After this pandemic is over , the railway will look a lot different , other open access operators will probably be looking closely at there operations especially if the operations have to be halted for a second time .
