Any news if the 730/2s' will still be running between Liverpool to Birmingham in the new timetable about to start shortly?

Wonder what has happened to this service (which calls at Lea Green at 0616) ax it has not run all this week. Also note quite a few services to Newcastle that call at Lea Green are additionally calling at Newton-le-Willowa.

Now 2 years behind schedule and a year since construction works were completed, but still no end in sight. This is from a news article for the St Helens Star.

Is the service between Chester to Leeds (via Newton le Willows) being discontinued? Upon checking on the Northern website, they no longer appear to be showing from Saturday 3rd May and onwards

Got an all zone Merseytravel Saveaway this morning from my local train station which is printed in a rail ticket from. The conditions on the Merseytravel website states it is valid on all public train, bus and ferry services starting and ending in Merseyside. Just got on an Arriva bus in...

I'm booked on the 0700 service this coming Friday which is scheduled to stop only at Stockport then non-stop to London Euston. Just for curiosity, does this service go via the Stoke on Trent or the Crewe route?

I refer to the service that runs via St Helens Junction that is frequently subject to cancellation. This service was already cancelled this week on Monday, Tuesday and I'm now today. What's the point of this diagram due to the poor running of it.

Need some advice here. I lost my Merseytravel rail-only 12 month season ticket a couple of months ago as it seemed to have fallen out of my pocket. I was issued a replacement and was not charged an admin fee. Unfortunately, I appear to have someone lost the duplicate ticket now. Would I...

Anyone know what is happening with the new station building and car park at Lea Green station on Merseyside? It appears progress over the last few weeks has come to a standstill.

I note with quite some interest that on the Mersey Railways page of Facebook, it appears 2 Super Voyagers (221103 & 221113) worked the 14:47 Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston service today. Just asking how this working came to be, given that Avanti Voyagers are almost exclusive to London...

They seem to have gone missing. Any ideas?

I am booked on a train to London from Runcorn next Friday (4th December) and when coming to pick up the tickets yesterday (I came via Picow Farm Road and the M56) noted that the road appeared to be closed off for road works. It appears that the car park on Holloway was shut and the multi story...

Are Avanti West Coast leaving the vast bulk of Pendolinos in unbranded white or something? 2 months on and there still only appears to be 2 of them in the new livery.

Seems that more services of late that are usually booked for 319's and 323's are 2 car DMU's. The 1528 Liverpool to Crewe on Thursday was just a 2 car 156 that was so badly packed staff could not let everyone on. Today's 1645 Liverpool to Wigan and 1700 Liverpool to Earlestown are also 2 car...

I heard recently within social media that 87002 suffered some serious problems. Anyone out there know of what is going on?

Whilst on a LM service from Liverpool to Birmingham on Saturday (the very last day of the LM franchise) and upon passing the sidings just short of Crewe station, I noticed a Class 345 unit. Any idea what it was doing there?

Came across a couple of articles where they are looking to use these once Preston to Blackpool is wired. https://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/in-the-july-2017-issue-class-91-and-mk4s-for-west-coast-in-new-alliance-plan/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_91 Anyone know how this...

Not sure if it is just me, but it seems services to Liverpool via Chat Moss seem to be going a bit slower and stopping in between stations more. Anyone else feel this is the case?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but they do not yet appear to be operational.
