Well I I have a claim in, so I will find out soon and let you know.

Yes, I did wonder about this as well, i.e. purchasing the supplement after the known delay, therefore knowing it would be refunded. But if you can only buy on board, and no opportunity to before hand, which you would have done purchased regardless of the delay, then it seems you have lost out.

Yes, it provides an alternative way to get to Houghton/Riley Green for the walk across the railway to the River Darwen at Houghton Bottoms. We must try it when it isn't too hot.

Any guesses when the original bus shelter was erected? I think it is made of concrete slabs, but I could be completely wrong...

From the Stagecoach Merseyside Cheshire and South Lancashire Thread I notice yet another Preston to Chorley route has begun recently. The 124 - Chorley - Whittle-le-Woods, Brindle, Houghton, Bamber Bridge and Preston...

Based on some advice on the Stagecoach Merseyside Cheshire and South Lancashire thread Anyone know how the recent incursion of Preston Bus into Bamber Bridge is going? On the few occasions I see a Preston Bus out there, there is hardly anyone on them, mainly because it is behind a stagecoach...

I also have a 1st class Anytime Single from Manchester Piccadilly, but my intention is to catch a Cross County train rather than an Avanti train. Does this prohibit me from using the Avanti 1st class lounge?

Bustimes,org has some missing services in the middle of the day next week. https://bustimes.org/services/113-gayle-garsdale-station-2?date=2026-05-05 Timetable here - https://www.dalesbus.org/uploads/1/1/3/9/113919127/lwb_garsdale.pdf Can anyone confirm the situation before I make a phone...

I presume you mean Tickets rather than vouchers? The vouchers are in the newspapers. You can purchase the tickets in advance, not just the day of travel. I have done so in the past.

Anyone struggling to get hold of the vouchers, send me a PM.

If you are OK with an overnight, last year we went from Preston to London, Eurostar to Amsterdam (late afternoon early evening in Amsterdam) sleeper train (NightJet) to Zurich. We then went over the Alps to Milan and Bologna. You could join the overnight train in Germany, but direct to...
