    Northern Delay repay complimentary tickets.

    Hi, I recently found a couple of Northern Delay repay complimentary return tickets issued before lock down which i had forgotten about. There is no expiry date on them so will they still be valid. The journey would be Chorley to York. Chorley ticket office said yes, but i have been given wrong...

    TfGM Bus franchising

    I wish they had kept it but as Bolton Depot ran it, it had to switch over. I have to buy two tickets to get from Chorley to St Helens now and to be honest, the service is not reliable anymore, some of the buses they are using are too small. Passengers left behind at Chorley last Tuesday on...

    TfGM Bus franchising

    People that live in Chorley, like me are now going to lose out. I get Arriva day and weekly tickets quite often to visit friends in St Helens and Liverpool. I now will have to buy two tickets so will probably just go in the car.

    TfGM Bus franchising

    Does anyone know what is happening with the 362 Wigan to Chorley ? It was originally included in the Bee Network, but now on the Transport for Greater Manchester website, it is listed as 362 Wigan to Standish, no mention of Chorley. It would have been ideal for me if Arriva had retained it and...

    TfGM Bus franchising

    Yes, according to the letter, Stagecoach are not selling the depot and there will be no loss of jobs with drivers still being employed by Stagecoach. I wonder what they have up their sleeve.

    TfGM Bus franchising

    Yes but that does not need an extra 13 vehicles.

    TfGM Bus franchising

    Stagecoach have increased the licence for vehicles at Chorley so i wonder if they are thinking about registering a Chorley to Wigan service. I was under the impression that cross boundary services are not included. Stagecoach will not be happy if they lose the 125 Preston to Bolton. However, I...

    TRIVIA: What is the bus that sums up your childhood?

    Ribble Marshall Bristol RESL on the 322 and 332, Chorley to Lower Adlington and the Dual door E.C.W. Bristol RELL on Chorley town services. I was gutted when they were replaced by Leyland National 2s. Happy days.
