Can the extra platform at Salford Crescent help with congestion ? last few times I’ve traveled on that through to Piccadilly has been held before and in Castlefield area. L

If I knew this before leaving the office I could have walked to Picc and caught it there. Is it unreasonable to expect to be notified of these events before getting to the station? I always check RTT but this showed no problem for 17:18.

Raildar says it stopped at Oxford Road at 17:30 - why would it not stop at Oxford Road?

I arrived at Manchester Oxford Road for the 17:18 to Chester yesterday. Display board showed it was cancelled when arriving on platform. No alerts came from TFW. Delay repay submitted for cancelled train last night. I checked the journey on RailRadar today and it's showing as Late by 17...

Thanks. I've gone back to them. We'll see where this goes.

On the 9th Aug I was trying to get 17:55 Manchester Oxford Road to Chester train but on arriving at the station the board said it was cancelled. No cancellation on real-time trains. Anyway, I left station to get some food and came back to get 18:55. I submitted a delay repay to TFW but...

Can I buy a season ticket to cover me from Travel : Chester - Manchester via Liverpool?

Interested to see if it’s possible to get Liverpool on the acceptable route

Thanks all for going through the trouble of explaining this - good info to have.

Hi, The season ticket for Chester to Manchester is £77/week for all routes. I was wondering what this means in practice i.e. from Chester, I can go to Manchester via Liverpool, Crewe, Mid-cheshire line, Fast line through warrington, line through to Victoria. Taking it too extreme, I can...

I think the best is 7:35 Chester to Crewe - Manchester Picc - Manchester Oxford Road. Should work okay. Not so lucky for passengers going to other stations like Warrington.

I think Crewe-Pic would be quicker

I need to get to Manchester Oxford Road by 9:30 for the 2 weeks the WCML work is going on at Acton Grange Junction. The best I've heard from station staff is getting a bus from Chester to Newton-le-Willows but i do not fancy this (Warrington is a nightmare during peak time). Note, I plan on...

Sorry I have no idea what bogies are. Do they allow for a smooth ride?

Should this line be managed by an English operator?

How long will air con, charges for phone, WiFi last I wonder - seats look like they won’t last too. I suppose I have bad memories about the last time an old shell was used to build a new train (pacers)

I read online that we’re getting old London Underground d78 stock for Chester - Crewe. Some of it being 40 years old. Chris Grayling was on the news saying we’d be getting new trains in the North West. Since when are 40 year old trains new? I guess this is related to having English rail...

I may just get a fold up bike for the last 5 miles. Although I know how busy the Manchester train gets. Imagine how many more train journeys could be taken if the last 0-5 miles were handled by bike. Lee

I need to get to Birchwood, Warrington from Chester. I can get the 7:39 and arrive at 8:50. 1hr 10 mins. Is there an easier way to get to Birchwood? i.e. train/bus? I suppose I could take my bike and cycle the last 5 miles.
