Its been 2 an hour, 1 semi fast service (runcorn, crewe, stafford, wolves, sandwell) and 1 stopper service which included the local stations
Many passengers who use this service have called for 2 fast services, with local stopper trains covering the minor stops except for maybe peak times...
they still dont use the other 3, wedgewood, norton and barleston
but london midland are using stone once an hour during the day on the crewe - euston service via trent valley stopper

Nuneaton is still being used by VT at peak times, so its no massive loss?
if anything the Liverpool - New Street service which was runcorn crewe stafford wolves sandwell and birmingham, now includes smetwick galton, coseley, penkridge, hartford, winsford etc
so what was a fairly fast...
anyone know why until 25th of jan the liverpool services stop at crewe?
and also until the 25th jan the chester services are limited to euston to only a few per day?
is this due to engineering works?
i notice on the EMT timetable that they have cut widnes out of the route at peak times, im guessing this is to reduce overcrouding, with commuters now having to use a stopper service to widnes
yet the northern rail timetable still shows EMT stopping there?
theres massive work to be done on...
Just intrigued really.. dont know how it works now..
but from Dec 14th theres 3 trains an hour to euston from manchester
1 via wilmslow, and the other 2 via stoke
the 2 via stoke, do they branch off at stone straight onto the trent valley line, or do they follow into stafford then onto...
due to engineering works between liverpool and crewe the other weekend i had to travel to manchester then onto new street!
anyway from manchester it was a direct XC service the 20.54 on a sat night!?
it was full, with people standing, but everyone was loud noisy, some ****ed etc! and i...
isnt this one of the longest busiest services in the uk, yet still it stops nearly everywhere and is ran by old 158's at best
i think this route is to big for EMT, and the reason they keep it is because of the money it generates
its about time XC took this route over, and cut out the minor...
i havnt yet travelled on a 185, something im dying to do... however i used to use the 158's TPE lpool - leeds service on a regular basis, it was always packed, train was poor quality and very cramp, however back in the day the 158 was one of my favourite trains
once ive been on a 185 maybe i...
expecting the liverpool - nottm - norwich, and lpool - scarborough trains to stop there, hopefully alternative as it'd be a shame to see these services slow down in terms of destination times, never the less, has to be done, and awaiting the new timetable for confirmation
in that case would have to be the holyhead - south west wales services as already mentioned
although im sure theres a glasgow to the higlands stopper service which takes a fair few hours
plan to do more routes in the future... etc which is needed
however the platforms arnt big enough for pendolinos
good or bad idea?
i think with the introduction of more euston - lpool services in the future, one in every 2 or 3 should stop at lpool south park for passengers travelling...
good idea
but alot of people would travel virgin wigan preston - scotland
its ok for people travelling from the airport and manchester, but areas further north you'd rather be on a virgin, which id expect would pass the tpe's on the fast line
the train isnt comfortable enough for a long...
