The Blackpool Tramway remains closed today due to the weather and subsequent damage to infrastructure. Only one Tram replacement seems to be possible at present. Link to Blackpool Transport Website https://www.blackpooltransport.com/service-updates

The Blackpool Tramway appears to have been closed again, with no replacement bus service this time. All put down to worsening weather. That surprises me as the wind seemed to have dropped. Link to Blackpool Transport Website here https://www.blackpooltransport.com/service-updates

No it must be a Northern one. Oxford Road, Deansgate and Victoria are all Northern ticket offices

Why would you buy a via London ticket to travel on the direct route?

Just wondering if using the 7 car 807 would enable Avanti to introduce stops at Poulton-le-Fylde and or Kirkham and Wesham. These platforms take the 6 car 331's at present. It would be a good move for Avanti as it would help develop the all year market on the Blackpool line. (Presently the 390's...

Plus I have my disabled railcard linked to my Oystercard to provide benefits when using pay as you go, which I cannot do at present with a...

Via Carlisle is not an option as Northern are on strike, all services withdrawn, on March 1st.

May I ask where these can be found? I particularly would like Northern.

You say 'as it stands they will not go north of Weaver'. I understood they are to be used on the branch to Blackpool North, they have been on test on that branch in recent weeks.

Really suprisingly in this day and age you need to find a member of staff who can do it for you. However make sure they put on the correct discount. I have a disabled railcard and an Oyster as I do not live in London. I only have to do mine opnce every 3 years and have found the best place to go...
