Can you tell if a service is going to be strengthened?

[Eric]

Is there any way of telling if a service tomorrow has been strengthened?

Tiger.iris will might tell you the number of coaches on the day, but not for all stations.
Apart from that not much

It's the first Bradford to Manchester train at 8.41am.

My brother and some of his rugby friends have persuaded me to go watch the rugby but when buying the tickets at Bradford this afternoon the ticket office man said they'd already sold a lot of tickets for this train as it's Pakistan vs India in the cricket at Old Trafford so expect to stand.

I have a horrible feeling a 150 or 142 will roll down the hill and they'll be a mad scramble to get on it.

I hope Northern strengthen trains to Manchester tomorrow.

It's Sunday, nothing might turn up at all!

It's India v Pakistan in Manchester.

If nobody at Northern has considered the possibility that some extra capacity will be needed (and shouldn't be difficult to resource on a Sunday morning) then backsides need to be kicked.

Hard.

But ... in 2019 ... Northern ...

The last couple of Sundays, services on the west side of Northern's network have been reasonably reliable (consequent upon the effect of the rest day working agreement). East side services have not been affected as much by driver shortage.

A source at Northern tells me no.

If you don't need to be at Leigh until 15.00, why not travel a little later?

The Calder Valley services do tend to be 3 or 4 car sprinters on Sundays

Booked 150 + 153

If it's GA then not a hope in hell. The way things are on the DMU/37 front, passengers should think themselves lucky if they get a 153v170 3-car. Got to be better than a bus I suppose

I see that Bradford Bulls lost 20-52. How did the train journey go?
