Bit premature with that announcement as we picked up a 150 at BTM, although we were late away due to a few technical hiccups, and we were delayed further due to following the HST. ::) I'm assuming that the 1722 off BTM is now booked 5 car considering the official announcement, I think pretty much all seats were taken last night and I can see it becoming a service of choice if there is a guaranteed seat. Interesting it doesn't stop at Bradford, would be nice if there was a 42 min journey the other way in the mornings. :'( Title: Re: Peak Revisions (10/06/2008) Post by: Lee on June 11, 2008, 17:29:32 I'm assuming that the 1722 off BTM is now booked 5 car considering the official announcement, I think pretty much all seats were taken last night and I can see it becoming a service of choice if there is a guaranteed seat.

Obviously 5 coaches on it is welcome.
