INTRODUCTION:

The 1998 Timetable saw couple of interesting developments to the services via Olympia. The morning departure from Manchester and afternoon return from Brighton were now extended to start and terminate at Preston. This involved the stock running ECS from Longsight to Preston in the morning and back in the evening.

The Saturdays only service to Ramsgate now ran for the full duration of the summer timetable rather than having just a four week season. The northbound service was now routed via Reading and extended through to Edinburgh.
