Leeds to Blackpool   
Hi,

Does anyone know what stock usually operates the Leeds-Blackpool North runs?

Do they take reservations?

Which route do they take?

Thanks,
Michael

Whatever Northern can find. Usually seems to be 158s in MetroTrain
red/silver livery, although don't be surprised to see blue/green 156s.

York-Leeds-Bradford Interchange (reverse)-Hebden Bridge-Burnley (Manchester
Rd)-Blackburn-Preston-Kirkham-Blackpool

Former Central Trains and First North Western 158s often appear as well.

It shouldn't be anything worse than 155 unless you are really unlucky
