Not sure where to post this, but I was stood outside Warrington Bank Quay station tonight waiting for a lift home when a couple arrived intending to travel to Manchester. They had been told that there was a bis replacement service at around 23:20.
The station was all locked up as the last train had departed and no staff were in sight. They asked me if I was waiting for the bus to Manchester, so I told them there wasnt one and told them to go to Warrington Central for the 00:17. We were chatting while waiting and they said that they had phoned National Rail Enquiries and they had said there was a bus. Had they arrived and waited for the 'bus' and it not turned up they would have found themselves stranded. This clearly isnt acceptable, has anyone else heard any similar stories?
