    Rail Replacement Buses

    On Saturday 11th November I am planning on using the rail replacement bus from Rishton to Preston at 06:24, is this likely to be reliable as later in the day the time keeping can be a bit hit and miss.

    When they introduced the 2nd Blackburn to Manchester via Darwen a few years back it would have been nice if it could have gone to Piccadilly instead of Victoria.

    Transdev Blazefield

    I notice that Transdev Burnley are making changes to the Mainline and Witchway from September, including the late night ones. I wonder if they will be more reliable then last time.

    With regards to Blackburn when the station was rebuilt there was no barriers so was moved upstairs from the main subway. The barriers are a very later addition. I personally have never had a problem being let through.

    Last Avanti service to Manchester cancelled 4 Dec.

    I had it a few weeks back when the 19:30 was cancel, which offers the last connection in Preston for local stations in East Lancaster. Luckily I was there just in time to catch the 18:30. Luckily as it turned out as a Manchester around the same time was late as well, as I can get back that way.

    Trivia - Furthest you've seen someone carried beyond their intended stop
