Sadly looks like I’m on a 197 today according to real time trains. What’s the likely hood the listing is wrong?

Perfect thank you ❤️ hoping for a nice smooth loco run

I’m hoping to pick up 1V42 at Crewe on Monday - to Newport (going to Bristol). Can anyone tell me what will be on this yet? Thanks ☺️ going TFW avoiding Cross Country!

Ah, that's great. Thanks for looking for me! Worrying about lack of information available and no staff visible (loads at north western) guess there would be more when the services were due. Thanks again for looking, we just dropped lucky thankfully!

Thanks, the train I'm on is now calling all stations instead if main stops. Real time trains has updated for the sop-man service to say planning error cancelled.

Hi, Out of curiosity while returning from Edinburgh for the day I checked on national rail app for my connecting train at Wigan Wallgate. My train(the 22.03 departure) is ok - I hope! But u noticed the previous service which was due to arrive at Southport 21.40 was cancelled from Wigan and...

I noticed this week with the maps that the first one giving the weeks overview gives a very rough guide (indeed I briefly got excited that he was going to mention the old Crossens route from southport to Preston). The following map shows a more accurate map detailing that episodes route...

Yeah, I'm going to keep an eye out and see what happens on Saturday :-) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Well, on the outbound service the guard said the 19.22 was cancelled as did the information desk at LIV this morning. However, there was a train leaving LIV at 19.22 to...

Thanks for the reply. I noticed it wasn't on the journey planner so contacted red spotted hanky (who I booked with originally) who advised that I contact TPE to find out. I rang TPE who after a bit of digging told that it did look like it was cancelled and made me a new seat reservation on...

Would I be able to claim in this instance? as I've rebooked? Tilly

Thanks all fir the replies. Nevertheless frustrating. Tilly

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I had an advance purchase single booked through Red spotted Hanky for the 19.22 dep LIV arr YRK 21.39 with mandatory seat reservation using TPE. On checking the timetable today I find that the service isn't listed. After a call to national...

He's been seen in Southport too today. http://www.otsnews.co.uk/michael-portillo-visits-southport-to-film-great-british-railway-journeys/

I can see that it's handy for people who can choose alternative TOCs to balance out the standing room only or a shorter time. If I'm travelling to Manchester then my only choice is Northern. I'm not too sure I want to know that I'm going to be cramped from Wigan. While be good to know train...

I used to regularly travel between Aberystwyth and Southport with my hamster. He had a wheel one side of the case and water bottle the other. Never got charged as extra fare - and usually ensured a table and the aber to Shrewsbury/Wolverhampton stretch!

Thanks bb21 I would never have thought about that but it makes a lot of sense thinking about it. Also makes life easier as I can leave the car at Birkdale in the morning (didn't want to complicate my post further!). I often think its a pain living at thus end of the line, but being in the...

Hello all, I'm after some advice, I am getting the 07.21 train from Southport to Salford Crescent next Wednesday. I normally buy an anytime return, coming back around 4pm. This is sometimes sold to me as the destination being Salford and other times, Manchester stations. However, next Weds...

Liverpool South Parkway, for local and distance travel has certainly opened up travel options for me. much easier to change from the Northern line to other services here than change at the centre of Liverpool either by using the wirral line or walking through to Lime Street. Ok, you cant...

southport to meols cop and return is a good example - SOP-MEC - 5 mins MEC-SOP - 11 or 12 minutes I realised this when I was on a late running Manchester Victoria double pacer a couple of Mondays ago we were over 20 down due to a delay in changing driver at Wigan, but were 4 late when...

Bidston's pretty poor looking, another wooden shack station.
