Blackburn to Manchester Trains

[rishtonlad]

Can anyone confirm that the 0627 from Blackburn to Manchester runs on a Saturday as it is in the timetable but does not appear to show on any journey planners for this Saturday or the following

See for yourself. The first direct Blackburn to Manchester service on a Saturday is the 0719, arriving 0832. No sign of an 0627 on a Saturday. However, the 0729 is faster, arriving 0826 and is cheaper as the "Via Bromley Cross" ticket is valid.

If you need to arrive in Manchester before that, there is the 0612, arriving (at Picadilly) 0756 with a change at Preston requiring the more expensive "Via Preston" ticket.

There's also an 0655-0824 option requiring split tickets and a change at Hebden Bridge showing on NRE which is probably not worth it for the sake of 2 minutes.

The 06.27 defintely is shown in the printed timetables. No sign of it on NRE or in Trust though. Probably best to contact Northern to see what is going on.

That's odd it appears on the Manchester to Clithroe timetable (TT12), but not on the Manchester to Blackburn timetable (TT44). What is going on, not even the printed timetables are consistant?

Could you say that as it is listed in the PDF on the Northern website that if you turn up for it and it doesn't arrive you could claim delay repay?

T44 is the Todmorden Curve service, so not relevant to services via Bolton. But that doesnt answer the OP!
