I'm travelling Glossop to Littleborough off peak day return. Some ticket sites don't say how to get between Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria they just say 'transfer' but Trainpal says Transpennine Express train between them is included in my ticket but trams are more frequent and convenient...

Thanks but who are Realtime Trains? I've never heard of them

I'm doing a return trip on 14th Feb Glossop to Preston with 1 change at Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) and I'd be returning on the 22.22 arriving MAN at 23.13 then 23.29 (the last train) to Glossop, all Northern services. On Trainline and Northern route planners there was a flag on the return...

Unbelievable but the 2329 is now showing in journey planners as a bus replacement service - but how would I know that after being told otherwise, I could easily have booked a taxi or a hotel based on the info I was given by Northern Rail. But I suppose there's still time for things to change...

Sorry what I meant was that if NR knew about engineering works 18 months in advance, they had ample opportunity to book bus replacements for the services they were going to include in the timetable and to exclude them if they couldn't. To falsely claim there is a bus replacement service as per...

You'd think any organisation/s with any nous would be able to coordinate engineering works being carried out only when replacement buses were available.

it's rubbish isn't it when you can't even provide a bus replacement service

That looked good and i've taken a screenshot but i've been back onto Northern Rail and their customer service are adamant they have not been able to secure a bus replacement service for the 23:29 train on 10th May but they said keep checking as things might change......so is there no obligation...

Have you a link for that information as I can't find it on National Rail website or Northern Rail? That's good news if true but I had also phoned National Rail Enquiries and when I told them of the issue they told me to contact Northern rail, no mention of Engineering works

I recently downloaded a Northern Rail timetable to help plan a holiday and after checking for strike dates went ahead and booked the holiday returning on 10th May. When I went to book the train tickets the train I expected to get for the final leg of my return journey (23.29 from Manchester...

My understanding is you can only reserve a seat if you've got a Return ticket or bought a single, you can't if you've got an Open Return. I can't afford an Anytime Single if that's the cost, I'll just have to take my chance and wait for first Off Peak I can get on or try to get a bus. Am I...

Because there'll have been virtually no trains on Euston-Manchester route for 3 or 4 days and same on the next day I can imagine it'll be mayhem if there's an 18.57, won't they just let those ppl on who have a ticket for that particular train? I can't seem to find Anytime Single fares for either...

Out Manchester Piccadilly to Euston 28th Oct and return 8th November with Avanti West Coast. I was expecting to be able to get 1857 from Euston on 8th November as it's earliest off peak train that evening. When I booked (via LNER) there was no strike on 9th November so I didn't anticipate any...

Appeal successful. Thanks for replies.

Yes 1632066217 That's what I thought but I was told by station staff that was my next connection with my ticket and in declining my delay repay the 0928 they quote was also a TPE train. I've also just discovered the connecting train I actually got was supposed to leave at 0930 so the staff at...
