Lol :)

I agree with all of the above. The temp timetable is awful for leyland, Buckshaw passengers. No service to Manchester in the morning from Euxton? I mean you can't make this stuff up.

I see, thanks. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Can you believe there's going to be no Summer Saturday service between bolton and chorley just buses.

3 days on the trot I've tried to get the 1700 from Buckshaw Parkway to todmorden. 23 24 and 25 cancelled. Terrible. Just gone for my return home at 2057 from Adlington to Buckshaw. Cancelled. Another hour in the rain.

From the new timetable change it seems the train that goes from Manchester Vic to Blackpool North will now come from Wigan before forming said service. Does anyone know what xx departure from Wigan?

I emailed northern at the weekend. I think you've noticed correctly. Saturday evening there always seems to be a northern service that's cancelled. Maybe the reason I was as upset as I was is because like you said it's happened before and in my case on the 2022 to Blackpool North. --- old post...

I'd still rather the train stopped at bryn though :)

Clearly I don't like northern? What utter trash. I don't like what happened on Saturday 8th March 2014 and events that followed after the train was cancelled. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- At last somebody that understands. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I...

Thanks for the above info. Very helpful.

Why on earth do the trains not stop here on a Sunday? Have they ever stopped? Are all other stations on the line served?

Kindly read above yourself. I'm not now asking that above! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I tweeted northern about the tpe departure and whether it would be stopping. They said that they were reliant on the info being cascaded down to all staff. Whatever that means. It was...
