The first of TPE's new Class 397 sets to enter public service, departs from Preston on the 1S38 0810 hrs service from Manchester Airport to Edinburgh. This should have been the second unit in service but the earlier 1S30 to Glasgow was cancelled. However all was again not well between Preston and the border for the second time this week with OLE problems on the Down Line in the Upperby area. The result was that this service was delayed over 60 minutes and several other services were cancelled or similarly disrupted, although nothing as bad as earlier in the week.
