Standard return tickets with seats on pre-booked trains. Would Avanti response differ if the ticket was advance compared to standard, if the cancellation is down to the TOC?

I am assisting group travel down to London from Wigan on the 7th and returning the 9th Feb. The group are advised that the scheduled return is cancelled, presumably strike related, and that the return ticket can be cancelled and refunded. This doesn't really suit as with a return ticket they...

Didn't know about that link thanks. Wish Southport could benefit from this configuration in future. Could easily save 15 minutes on the current schedules. Perhaps if a Golborne Station is ever developed.....

Can I clarify this routing, as it will be impacting my travel. Southport to Oxford Road via Wallgate and Chat Moss. Is there a direct line for this or does it involve 2 reversals? If the latter presumably this will add extra time to counter whatever is saved by avoiding stops between Wigan and...

Thank you. I am well within my rights to arrive one minute in advance. I suspect the absence of a lot of traincrew over recent weeks means that they aren't on top of their jobs. Another side effect of the strikes.

Thank you. I shall see where it goes. Hopefully the email will also impress on Northern traincrew the need to ensure that it doesn't regularly happen.

Interesting events last night, unless it affected you of course (which it did for me). Southport train from Oxford Road leaves at 1727 and is due to leave Deansgate 1733. How that takes 6 minutes I don't know. Last night the Deansgate pause was missed out and train departed 3 mins early. 2...

I'd turn it around and suggest that failed claims can be requested to lookup against the ticketing system to verify the circumstances.

Can't wait to pay more for my beans resultant from this improved "green footprint".

It isn't - but it does exemplify the "couldn't really care about the passenger" attitude that prevails on the railways.

I think Wigan needs to benefit, rather than be bypassed, like Northamptonshire.

Exactly, free travel across the bridges for locals too.

Preston, Leyland, Euxton, new stations at Coppull, Standish, Wigan NW and onward.

No of course not. But it does limit the number of places you can move to and claim benefits in.

We could all come to Ireland and avail of the EU scene thanks to common travel area. Or much better Middle East, Far East, Australasia. Places we are welcomed.....

Hope they still manage to sort out the unions......

Perhaps it gets two incorrect units to the correct destination so that the difficulty can be compounded onto the next leg of the diagram.

The 1801 Picc to Blackpool, formerly a split with Barrow or Windermere as 6 coaches is showing as 4 coaches only tonight (as usual). This is a train that they need to lengthen, not mid mornings from Hazel Grove or Lunchtimes from Victoria.

For those reading now. https://live-departures.info/rail/dppc/Bolton/ 2N60 from Hazel Grove is indicated as 6 coach.
