    Seems to be an issue on the west coast mainline with a balloon getting caught in the overhead wires somewhere between Runcorn and Crewe - does anyone have the actual location for this and how long does an incident like this take to resolve? quite a few cancelled / delayed trains already.

    Warrington Central Signal Box

    That’s great thanks for the info. Just one further question, after Hunts Cross is the line to Lime street controlled by Manchester ROC? so in effect the Liverpool to Manchester route via the CLC line would start off being covered by Manchester ROC and end with it too with different boxes along...

    Warrington Central Signal Box

    Quite often when I am sitting at Warrington Central I see the shift changeover at the signal box at the station. Was wondering following the recent opening of the Manchester centre which has taken a lot of the signalling work for this area over does the Warrington box still maintain control and...

    Can anyone confirm whether the new operator plan to run direct services from Euston to Liverpool South Parkway? I have just read an article by the Liverpool Echo which suggests they will along with the existing stopping service ran by London northwestern?

    Northern - is the bad PR unfair?

    Well can only comment on the western side as that is what I use but based on that then yes I think the criticism is justified. Use the 07.09 service from Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Oxford Road as an example, this service used to be the 07.05 TPE service to Scarborough and was 9 times...

    Warrington West - only two trains an hour.

    The 17.16 from oxford road to lime street stops at Sankey currently?? Will it continue to do so? As you say though this service in particular seems to run late and then delay the 17.41 East Midlands service to lime street, in fact quite often the northern service gets looped at glazebrook.

    Warrington West - only two trains an hour.

    Are the East Midlands services not going to be stopping? Does anyone know how many trains a day will stop at Sankey once west opens?

    Halton Curve upgrade is on

    Slightly off topic but believe a few weeks ago a car struck a bridge in Runcorn just prior to Runcorn station approaching from Halton curve end. The bridge has been cordoned off for a few weeks but tonight the road is closed with lots of workers ready for last trains to pass through before...

    Part of WCML to be closed Acton Grange Junction engineering work

    Having been at oxford road tonight waiting for a westbound service to Liverpool can only say it was chaos. Trains changing platforms at short notice from 5 to 1, virgin London services getting held at red signals in the station and lots of people with no idea what platform to go to. Appreciate...

    Do ticket gates need to be staffed when in operation?

    Another point on ticket barriers but slightly off topic so apologies. Does anyone know how they are set up to read ticket validity? Reason I ask is the barriers at Manchester oxford road have in the last few months stopped accepting anytime day return tickets from numerous stations on the CLC...

    Liverpool Norwich service to be split at Nottingham

    Interesting thinking re the chat moss but this would then remove another express service from the CLC line after the removal of TPE last year. No East Midlands services would mean passengers at Warrington Widnes etc relying on northern services only for journeys to Liverpool and Manchester and...
