Where to see Class 397 EMU

Booked on 713 schedule records, most often through Preston.

Train types are inferred from timetable planning data. The train used on the day may differ.

The total counts schedule records in the stored timetable, including variants. It is not a daily train count. Location, hour and weekday breakdowns use permanent schedules; one schedule can contribute at several locations and on several weekdays.

Hourly figures count timetable location entries, including passing points. There is no calendar-date reporting window: these breakdowns do not resolve daily cancellations, short-term changes or whether a conditional service runs. The feed does not provide a timetable refresh timestamp.
