    The failure of Northern Connect

    I would love to see the stats of those people chosing the route for ' better views' Must be fewer than 0.00001%

    The failure of Northern Connect

    Didn't Northern connect also promise 'refreshments' at all stations and a trolley service? I seem to remember the York Blackpool being part of this upgrade...

    Trivia: Through stations with platforms numbered in 'reverse' order.

    Portsmouth & Southsea? 3&4 ground floor near the entrance. 1&2 upstairs. Also, strangely the order of platforms is 4,3,1,2.

    Cancellations on Blackpool South line on Sundays

    On Sundays it runs as Colne -Blackpool South, rather than Colne -Preston. I assume that's because, as @Watershed States, there is no Ormskirk service. Accy,-Victoria does have some issues on Sundays... but they always cancel them early in the day so you don't get caught out. Blackpoo-York...

    Cancellations on Blackpool South line on Sundays

    One of the local MP's has done a short video from Kirkham station. Stating that a loop was planned but was cancelled by this government. Is that correct?

    What happens to the blackpool north passengers in the hour that it no longer runs there, and goes to South instead?

    Fratton station. Why 3 platforms?

    Thanks. Do we know why that changed after covid and now nothing terminates at Fratton?

    Fratton station. Why 3 platforms?

    So in theory you could have departures at the same time for the harbour and P&S from P2 & P3?

    Fratton station. Why 3 platforms?

    Thanks. Hadn't thought of that. Does that happen often? I assume it would only be harbour trains?
