    Delay repay twice in one day?

    I was waiting for this train too. Northern got me a taxi to Chorley and it took me to my door. Great job, really helpful. I will also be putting two claims in as i was on the Blackpool train that caused the problems and was stuck on it for three hours.

    Smoking ban, the impact 10 years on.

    I have seen plenty of people smoking on the platforms at Chorley,even though there are signs, this has been going on for years. As for smoking a few yards from entrances to stations or pubs,i would have imagined this is a public footpath and nothing can be done about it. I am a reformed smoker...

    Yes i agree after looking into it on Saturday but the fact remains that it was only advertised as Monday to Thursday and both the departure boards and station staff at Preston and Blackpool all said it was going to Chorley, plus the guard on the train. We could have quite easily got on the...
