    St Helens Central - St Helens Junction Rail Link?

    I remember reading a couple of years ago about the possibility of reopening the line that once connected St Helens Shaw Street (Now St Helens Central) and St Helens Junction. Merseytravel seemed to hope that this would happen as part of their long-term strategy. After a little bit of Google'ing...

    Manchester Victoria Query

    I didn't even consider the station refurbishment, which is bizarre as it seems to be in full flow now. Obviously it makes sense for them to solve these issues now that this work is taking place.

    Another year, another fare rise

    On a day where a 4.1% rise in fees was announced, I arrived at the train station this afternoon, having checked that my train was running on time. One minute before it was due to arrive, we were notified that it was running 15 minutes late. I could have waited and been late for work due to...

    Northern Rail Enquiry

    That's great news. I often work a 2pm-10pm shift. This usually means that I'll take my bike with me on the train to work at 1.39pm but as the next service following my shift is a rail-replacement bus at 11.18pm, I'm forced to bike home. Trains running later will be a welcome return. These rail...

    Northern Rail Enquiry

    Just an enquiry about current timetabling on the Liverpool Lime Street-Manchester line. I live near St Helens Junction/Lea Green and from Monday-Thursday, the last train of the evening leaves Lime Street for Manchester at 20.09. Following this train, there is a rail replacement bus service...
