    The failure of Northern Connect

    Didn't Northern connect also promise 'refreshments' at all stations and a trolley service? I seem to remember the York Blackpool being part of this upgrade...

    Trivia: Through stations with platforms numbered in 'reverse' order.

    Portsmouth & Southsea? 3&4 ground floor near the entrance. 1&2 upstairs. Also, strangely the order of platforms is 4,3,1,2.

    Cancellations on Blackpool South line on Sundays

    On Sundays it runs as Colne -Blackpool South, rather than Colne -Preston. I assume that's because, as @Watershed States, there is no Ormskirk service. Accy,-Victoria does have some issues on Sundays... but they always cancel them early in the day so you don't get caught out. Blackpoo-York...

    Cancellations on Blackpool South line on Sundays

    One of the local MP's has done a short video from Kirkham station. Stating that a loop was planned but was cancelled by this government. Is that correct?

    Thanks. Do we know why that changed after covid and now nothing terminates at Fratton?

    Fratton station. Why 3 platforms?

    So in theory you could have departures at the same time for the harbour and P&S from P2 & P3?

    Fratton station. Why 3 platforms?

    Thanks. Hadn't thought of that. Does that happen often? I assume it would only be harbour trains?

    Fratton station. Why 3 platforms?

    Hi. Just wondering why Fratton needs to have 3 platforms. Platform one is used for everything northbound. Platform two- trains to Portsmouth and Southsea Platform three - Harbour. As its a 2 track railway into the city, there won't be any trains in 2&3 at the same time. So would two be...

    Could the Bolton - Blackburn Line be improved?

    Agree with the above. Thats why the line is probably already at full potential. Apart from the 'Untapped demand' for through services between Manchester and Settle.... Nothing wrong with those leafy parts of Hyndburn...some of us live here... :D

    Could the Bolton - Blackburn Line be improved?

    It was mooted recently by local Councillors, along with another on the south side of Darwen. I really can't see there being enough demand. Maybe a Parkway type setup next to junction 4 on the M65 adjacent to the services might have more merit... but you'd need a more frequent service to...

    Could the Bolton - Blackburn Line be improved?

    No trains from Burnley use it. Everything comes from Blackburn & Clitheroe. You could in theory combine the current two Blackburn- Manchester services: 1. Via Bolton 2. Via Todmorden and create a circular Blackburn, Bolton, Victoria, Rochdale, Tod, Burnley, Blackburn and vise versa service. Not...
