Northern Rail
First Saturday match of the season and the 17.38 train back to Rochdale and Manchester Victoria cancelled. Northern Rail is a joke.

Re: Northern Rail
No it’s not, I have many other worries in life but Northern Rail just adds to them. Having waited an hour for the next train, they have just announced it is delayed due to congestion even though the one before was cancelled !! Last season this kind of disruption was happening on a regular basis.

Re: Northern Rail
Trains in general are annoying. What's the next available train after that?

Our rail service is a ******* joke. But until we vote for change we're never going to get a good rail service.Claretforshaw wrote:First Saturday match of the season and the 17.38 train back to Rochdale and Manchester Victoria cancelled. Northern Rail is a joke.

Re: Northern Rail
I think it's fair to say the poster has the right to expect to get home.

Re: Northern Rail
How they are still allowed to operate the services is unbelievable. If it was down south there would be hell to pay and they would have been ousted by now

The two before it to Bolton and and Blackburn had both been cancelled and there were delays right, left and centre.

Re: Northern Rail
I honestly don’t rely on trains anymore unless I have an overnight stay and a couple of days spare to make sure I’m not in a rush to get home. Worse than pathetic our northern network... it isn’t just NR, but they are in the top 3 nationally without doubt.

Re: Northern Rail
The route that gets cancelled the most is Southport to Blackburn, which goes through Manchester Victoria and Burnley Manchester Road; it’s due to lack of drivers. The Leeds to Blackpool route is prioritised more, so you should be ok going to and from Leeds...maybe!

Chris Grayling was Secretary of State for Transport for 3 years from July 2016 to July 2019. Just saying.
