    Chorley blockade

    I agree with all of the above. The temp timetable is awful for leyland, Buckshaw passengers. No service to Manchester in the morning from Euxton? I mean you can't make this stuff up.

    What's going on at Northern Rail today?

    3 days on the trot I've tried to get the 1700 from Buckshaw Parkway to todmorden. 23 24 and 25 cancelled. Terrible. Just gone for my return home at 2057 from Adlington to Buckshaw. Cancelled. Another hour in the rain.

    Chorley blockade

    I notice in the new temp timetables it states people travelling to Blackrod, Adlington and chorley to travel in front 4 coaches only. So does that mean it will be 6 coaches? How will this work?

    Please help northern rail wigan

    From the new timetable change it seems the train that goes from Manchester Vic to Blackpool North will now come from Wigan before forming said service. Does anyone know what xx departure from Wigan?

    Trains that are cancelled then run through empty with no conductor

    I emailed northern at the weekend. I think you've noticed correctly. Saturday evening there always seems to be a northern service that's cancelled. Maybe the reason I was as upset as I was is because like you said it's happened before and in my case on the 2022 to Blackpool North. --- old post...

    Trains that are cancelled then run through empty with no conductor

    Clearly I don't like northern? What utter trash. I don't like what happened on Saturday 8th March 2014 and events that followed after the train was cancelled. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- At last somebody that understands. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I...

    Why on earth do the trains not stop here on a Sunday? Have they ever stopped? Are all other stations on the line served?

    Trains that are cancelled then run through empty with no conductor

    Kindly read above yourself. I'm not now asking that above! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I tweeted northern about the tpe departure and whether it would be stopping. They said that they were reliant on the info being cascaded down to all staff. Whatever that means. It was...

    Trains that are cancelled then run through empty with no conductor

    Terrible from passengers point of view though isn't it? Especially at night on a stopper. Of course no arrangements were made for tpe to stop at affected stations. What's the ruling for this? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Awful isn't it. Terrible service again from northern...

    Trains that are cancelled then run through empty with no conductor

    Tonight the 2056 from Adlington lancs to Blackpool North was cancelled. Me and others on the platform were shocked to see our train bomb through without stopping at 2042. Is this common when there isn't a conductor? As you can imagine it's really frustrating when you're at an unstaffed...

    May 2014 timetable changes

    Thanks for the info. As a northern rail passenger I see there is a lot of changes from this date this year. I remember last year like you said I seen little or no difference.

    Buckshaw Parkway

    I think the fact that the 0610 service from leyland to Manchester airport will change to a Manchester Vic service will naff a few people off down the line. Also NRE says the Saturday journey doesn't operate at all?

    Buckshaw Parkway

    Yes. I don't blame them either. I mean Euxton has no real time info. If the train is cancelled then you've a long wait. Still good for a cheap ticket to Wigan though, 490 from Euxton and 1070 from Buckshaw. Is that because it's just off another line? So many stations in a small area. I like it...
