Hello,

Long time lurker, first time poster - I've just uploaded a May 2014 timetable for Liverpool Lime Street (fingers crossed it gets accepted!), with data and platform allocations taken from Real Time Trains. This represents the first stage of the new timetables as a result of the Manchester - Liverpool electrification scheme - all Northern Rail trains to Manchester Victoria now terminate there, rather than continuing to Stalybridge or Huddersfield, in preparation for being converted to EMU operation, whilst there's a new hourly TransPennine Express service via Chat Moss and Manchester Victoria to Newcastle, which interworks with the present service to Scarborough via the CLC and Manchester Piccadilly. That means platform allocations are somewhat more flexible than before, so conflicts may become a bit more common.

The VT trains are all 390s (though I couldn't get 11-car ones to fit into the platforms, so all are scheduled as 9-car), LM are all 350s, TP are all 185s and EM are all 158s. I didn't have any NT unit diagrams, so they are guesswork from the platform allocations - the actual lengths of trains are guesswork. I've added a couple of extra trains, a Network Rail test train and freight which was also in the schedule. All seems to work fairly well, but let me know if you have any difficulties.

Thanks,

David
