No worries - I do know about the bus, I regularly get the 5 or 5X between Bangor, there isn't much difference between the distances between LLJ and Llanfair and and Bangor and Llanfair but in reality the bus between Llanfair and LLJ takes longer because of having to go the wrong way along the...

Quite by ironic coincidence, Arriva's Passenger Information During Disruption Local Plan seems to be extensively delayed and the link from the Arriva website times out! :D

I use the Trainline app when the Arriva app fails. Some of the other apps are quite daft as they don't seem to offer mobile tickets, if I am in Llanfairfechan and book a ticket from Llanfairfechan on some apps they offer a paper ticket and advise me to travel to a station with a ticket machine...

I'll PM it tomorrow. My Monday 27th timetable woes may be explained by more trains moving around/reroutes as on Monday 27th the Llanfairfechan train is going direct to Crewe wheareas normally it would be change at Chester then Crewe, hence I think why the journey planner then reverts back to...

Is it possibly because of daylight saving time change that Monday?! :idea:

I get that - but in my experience the ticket outlets such as trainline usually offer a selection of options. I've always been able to go on the Arriva App and get an advance from Llanfairfechan to Manchester, but that option seems to have disappeared for the day in question. And it doesn't have...

I have no idea if this is related to the other goings on, but I seem to have woken up in some kind of train travel Twilight Zone this week. First I couldn't book my usual train on Monday 27th except by split ticketing manually as no tickets were available, and then this whole issue with the...

Thanks, I was considering getting bus from LLJ, but it would need to be the 10.03 bus and I'd probably fall asleep and end up in Bangor... That's the problem with getting the 22.04 from Chester, I might fall asleep and end up in Holyhead! I've just had to take a decision to cancel work at a...

Noted. I will call tomorrow and press option 5, it at least seemed to get me through to the Arriva office. I should do a quick crash course in Welsh, then I would be able to speak to a Welsh person and wouldn't have to spell out the station name every time! At least I wasn't trying to get...

Thanks, unfortunately I am all too aware of those issues as there have been no trains on weekends for several months due to these works, I turned my life upside down because of that, I thought I was fairly safe travelling daytime and early evenings during the week but now that's going wrong as...

While I'm here, do you know of any other potential disruptions that week? I found it very odd that for many journeys on the Arriva app, I was unable to buy advance tickets when I tried, and several journeys wouldn't even offer full price Anytime tickets - simply saying "tickets are currently...

He he, cool, I've been roasted on a spit by customer services today and getting paranoid :lol:

I'll tweet alright, like I said I can get the 17.50 but it might lose me work. I tweeted today and was told to ring the customer service number, 3 calls to India later I finally got put through to Wales and they didn't know either! I'll be calling again tomorrow as well! For me it's an...

Thank you for the information! If only someone at Arriva could have explained it! Shouldn't they really have the information about such a significant disruption on their website/other though? Llanfairfechan isn't exactly a crime hotspot, but if I was a woman and had an open return, and...

Now I'm intrigued!

Hello, I hope this is correct place to post, it is the result of an entire day's worth of frustration, perhaps someone can explain here. I work 3 days a week in Manchester and live the rest of the time in Llanfairfechan in north Wales, and do a long commute, so needless to say I am quite...
