With Motherwell Panel 1 been transferred to the new West Scotland Signalling Control (WSSC)? during Easter 2017, I have decided to create two timetables for Carlisle since only a few services will be heading North from Carlisle and going via Dumfries & GSW.

Timetables been created are separate to represent the whole weekend at Carlisle.
Saturday 15th 00:01 to 23:59.
Monday 17th 05:00 to 23:59.

There isn't much point in me doing one for Sunday 16th as there isn't any services by TransPennine or Virgin Trains and only a handful of Scot Rail and Northern services.

Timetable has been fully written and will under go testing over the next couple days

Timetable Notes:
Day 1 Easter Weekend 2017 (Motherwell Block)

With the closure of Motherwell PSB Panel 1 and transfer to West Scotland Signalling Centre over the Easter Weekend of 2017, no trains were running between Glasgow Central/Edinburgh and Carlisle. Line blocks took place from 8.30am on Saturday 15th from Gretna Jn to the North. Many services have to terminate at Carlisle with passengers wanting to go further North via Rail Replacement Buses or the Scot Rail Trains via Dumfries.

Note:
During the timetable there is a train coded as FDRS this means - For DRS and are loco's that have arrived with previous services.

Serco Caledonian ran all the sleepers as normal throughout the night.

Virgin Trains are running 1 train per hour to and from Carlisle, with Class 9's been turned at Preston this saves Carlisle been overloaded.

TransPennine Express are also running 1 train per hour to and from Carlisle, apart from the first service North to Edinburgh and two services from Edinburgh.

Northern & Scot-Rail Services are as booked for a Saturday.

Freight Services, many of them are cancelled and been diverted via East Coast Mainline. There is a limited number still running and are within the timetable too. Engineering Trains also feature with many North to MC863 and a few South to Shap, Eden Valley & Penrith.
