A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
OBSERVATION

Is it just me as once Saturday journeys by train are looked at on RTT, it always shows "Altered...on that particular day" and since RTT is the only mode available to me to see what the normal Saturday train services actually looks like, I wait in the hope that a Saturdau bus services might appear on the thread.... :oops: :rolleyes:

Saturday and Sunday's are the most popular days for engineering works, hence why there are far more alterations on the working timetable.
