    On Good Friday a driver stopped short at Bamber Bridge,blocking the level crossing for ages.If i had been travelling i would not have been impressed standing like sardines while 2 carriages are completely empty.

    Drivers not informed of weekly ticked validity

    Today i used a weekly Stagecoach Northwest Megarider Gold purchased from Chorley interchange. No problems at all until i reached Liverpool and attempted to go to Chester on the X8. In fairness the driver had not seen one before but said he would take a gamble and let me on. I then...

    stagecoach wigan future.

    When stagecoach acquired Wigan,personally i think it should have been attached to Merseyside and South Lancashire. It is more closely linked to Chorley,Preston and Gillmoss depots and more new services could have been developed,such as the old link between Wigan and Preston,via Chorley and...

    Blackpool - Manchester Electrification

    Yesterday,after studying the TPE temporary timetable booklet,I went to Euxton Balshaw Lane for the 12.31 TPE to Blackpool North only to see it fly through the station at around 50mph.There isnt that many extra trains anyway but this is pathetic and on Saturday the 12.14 Northern to BPN was...

    Chorley blockade

    I have just been studying the new temporary timetable,not very good in my opinion. Why is it only evening trains stop at Euxton Balshaw Lane.Surely passengers would use this service rather than get the replacement bus service at Chorley. The last train 23:06 from BPN to Man Vic on Saturdays...

    Blackpool North Preston.

    So from 19th July for 6 weeks,trains from Blackpool North to Preston will run at a reduced frequency.Good timing,just in time for the 6 week school holidays,the busiest time of the year.Well done,an over crowded service becomes even more overcrowded.Congratulations.How many families will be put...

    Disruptive Passengers

    21:16 Blackpool North - Liverpool Lime Street delayed by around 15 mins at Preston last night after a fight broke out after leaving Kirkham in the rear unit of a 4 car unit.Too much drink by the look of it.Police ejected those involved at Preston.

    Stagecoach network weekly ticket.

    Just a thought,this one. I use a Stagecoach North West Megarider Gold ticket almost every week for £26.70 which i think is excellent value as it covers an area from Chester to Dumfries/Newcastle up on Tyne. However it is not valid on Stagecoach Manchester which also operate services in the...

    impartial selling of tickets

    I usually get on at Preston on a Saturday lunchtime and ask for a return from Euxton Balshaw Lane to Blackpool North,as that is where i get off the train for home.Never been a problem.
