Due to passengers now being forced to exit Crewe station by the Weston Road exit exactly the same argument should be used to justify a bus service from the Weston Road exit to the Nantwich Road entrance to Crewe station. Whenever I alight at Crewe station I always seem be alighting after having...

Slightly off topic but for longest walk from train to Booking office . I would suggest Crewe, Northern end of Platform 11. Route most of platform 11 then subway to Weston Road entrance, then walk across car park to road, along to roundabout, turn left over road bridge, enter station forecourt...

Whilst that Marks & Spencer was being built, originally as a Co-op store, an empty Class 502 EMU coming from the sidings overshot the buffers on Platform 3 and ended up across the present concourse with the area forward of the first set of doors inside what is now the store, then a construction...

This morning signal failure at Cheadle Hulme stopping everything in the direction of Manchester. Northern are right when they say everything is almost back to normal. A few more driver shortages and unit breakdowns and it will be.

Memory may be failing here but I thought the Blackpool service joined with the Rochdale service at Warrington Bank Quay, this was not a boarding and or alighting stop for passengers.

Thank you 30907and Trackman. I will try to sort out the reservation in the morning. The reason I paid the extra 10p was just to cover if I was delayed heading for the return train and then having to hang around Stockport for up to an hour. I never thought I would be having a problem with the...

Yesterday booked off-Peak day return from Crewe to Stockport with Senior railcard for Saturday 20 June leaving 09:11. Purchased ticket without problem but with no reservation. In was under the impression that reservations were essential for Avanti services, but with no reservation ,and the...

Arriva. Route 84 Crewe - Nantwich. Service frequency roughly half normal due to Covid 09:03 journey cancelled - no driver. Where are those drivers who are not working? No, or insufficient, spare staff rostered? They don't care about customers

I think it's about time Boris appointed a chief incompetent to manage all these fiascos, which are not just WCML related but seem to happen all over the railway system on an all too frequent basis.

Arriva in Crewe are absolutely useless. when you complain they claim vehicles have broken down. On the present scale of breakdowns their maintenance must be of very poor quality. Had a similar issue to you a few days ago with 3 consecutive journeys on 84 missing at Crewe Bus Station, Eventually...

The original plan was for all drivers who work on 5 November to take one home for the bonfire. However, due to the implementation of the railways standard unforeseen delay mechanism this was changed to 24 December for elf'n safety reasons for use when Santa alights from his sleigh. Further...

all very well having all these instructors, now how about somebody for them to instruct

This occurs so often that I feel that the only explanation is that they will not spend the money, as the cost of finding and training is more than the penalties for cancelling services. About time the DOT got an axe to those tocs using thisi sort of excuse on a regular basis.

I live in Crewe and whichever direction I am going to travel when I join the train if I have reserved a seat it is almost always already occupied

It happened between Parbold and Appley Bridge in about 1961. When the train got to Wigan there was definitely a smell of steak coming from the engine. A hearty breakfast for the train crew that day!!

It has given a Chelmsford address for some time, sorry I cannot remember when I first noticed it.

Useful to me in one direction once a week, normally the only passenger boarding a vehicle which arrived empty. waste of money really, but I'll miss it especially on a wet day.

Exactly the same for Crewe passengers. Been like that for years since they decided to repaint the Runcorn bridge. Replacement was train Liverpool - Widnes, bus Widnes - Ruincorn, train Runcorn- Crewe. If train from Liverpool was a few minutes late the bus at Widnes had gone. Try and get hold of...

I could have sworn there was a thread on this but I can't find it so here's a new one. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/bus-operators-that-have-an-exact-fare-policy.175344/ Post 77

Arriva North West - Especially the Winsford Depot and services out of Crewe. Useless. Conseutive journeys cancelled. Lack of supervision. No one to complain to. (Ring the number - response you are now no 17 in the queue, and 10 minutes later you are no.15, phoning them is more expensive than...
