Another option would be to shut the Ordsall curve until platform 15 and 16 are built at Piccadilly

67 is back doing Manchester Holyhead today and also has 4 passenger coaches. Pure bliss.

Still only 3 carriages. Anyone know if it will go back to 4 again soon?

I wonder how journey check reported it as 2 carriages? caused a lot of panic in my office

Hi, Does anyone know what’s wrong with the usual north Wales loco hauled unit? it’s not been running for several days now. thanks

But it doesn’t appear in the journey planner on national rail website, just on realtraintimes which most people wont know about.

hi I’ve noticed extra Manchester to Chester services are scheduled to run again this Saturday according to realtraintimes. Can anyone explain why these aren’t advertised services as it would be really useful at this busy time of year...

Facebook message from ncrug Trains tomorrow... Result! A response from the ATW Regional Manager received 8pm this evening, shared below with his permission. When asked if tomorrow's trains will be normal length or short-formed, he responded they hope to have normal. Might be standing room only...

According to twitter all trains have been repaired "All necessary repairs have now completed and the trains have been released back into service 1/2"

According to the ATW website the Chester to Manchester trains are cancelled due to severe weather!! I phoned to clarify and was told this is the case and they knew nothing about damaged wheel sets. What a joke!!! no snow on the ground or wind today.

Hi, Probably an impossible question to answer, but what are the chances of a Chester to Manchester service on ATW tomorrow morning?

I currently use the Arriva trains wales app to buy m tickets which is great as no more having to find a guard or getting frustrated when TVM does not work, however I’m surprised I cannot use this to buy a ticket on multiple TOC’s, for example I can get an m ticket from frodsham to Warrington and...

Looks like atw have cancelled some Manchester to Chester services due to lack of staff. This isn't going to help!

Hi, It is a card only machine. I have been told people have been charged and no tickets have been printed or at least not appeared. I personally have had a return ticket only print the return journey, I approached the guard and he said the machines are not operated by arriva trains wales and...

Hi, There have been multiple incidents at Frodsham station where the ticket Machine has taken money from a card but not printed any tickets. I have 2 queries, these are new machines only 12 months old so I assume are an inferior product to most stations. Also I do not want to use the...

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to check the running status of a Rail Replacement Bus. I intend to get the 09:13 bus from Frodsham to Chester on Sunday 1st March and have a connection at Chester? If not does anyone know how reliable these replacement buses are? Many Thanks Chris

I Always claim and feel thats my right. I live in frodsham and the journey to carlisle takes about 2 hours by car and the same by train. The petrol costs about 35 pounds and the train fare for a family of 3 on a railcard is about 80 pounds. I much prefer to travel by train but if I knew the...

I'm not including the week long engineering work, which in my opinion was a great way to do the work rather than suffer months of weekend / bank holiday closures. Trains north seem to arrive from london / birmingham on time at WBQ and south from glasgow / Edinburgh to Carlisile on time but...

Hi Forum, I have noticed over the last few months that the WCML between WBQ and Carlisle is very unreliable. Looking at raildar this also seems to be the case. I was wondering if any members know why trains seem to be running late more often or maybe I'm just unlucky. Saying that the delay...

Hi, Many Thanks for your replies, I'm still a bit confused to say the least? The main reason i wanted to go from manchester is there are no trains from frodsham on sunday just rail replacement buses, which then leaves nearly an hour wait in warrington, ( if the bus turns up ). I can get a...
