Wigan to Wolverhampton and back 29 & 30 December

[NorthWestRover]

Good afternoon. Does anyone know if there is a service between Wigan and Wolverhampton on 29th and 30th December? I'm not doing the journey if it's RRBs. I could go via Manchester or Liverpool if necessary.

Looking on Realtime Trains it's suggesting that direct trains should be running on both of those dates.

e.g. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W01980/2025-12-29/detailed

On the 29th

On the 30th.

At the moment Booking Horizons for Avanti services are showing as being until 22nd November Saturdays, 23rd November Sundays, 28th November Monday to Friday.

Maybe tickets will go for sale/trains will be confirmed in around 4-6 weeks perhaps?

Check on the National Rail site towards the end of September. Currently you can only find disruption info. up to early December:

The advance times on RTT show Avanti running hourly Glasgow-Wigan-Wolverhampton-Birmingham-Rugby.
TfW seems to be running normally via Wolverhampton to Birmingham International if you want to go off-piste via Shrewsbury.

Thanks all. The Shrewsbury may be desirable in any case. I'll keep an eye out for anything on disruption alerts.
