Hey folks,
Planning on travelling next Thursday from Parbold to Sheffield on the 07:39 which arrives into Oxford Road at 08:31 (and travelling out again on the 08:39 to Sheffield arriving at 09:45).
My brother used to catch this train from Parbold over 6 months ago every few days and commented to me that it often runs late (arriving into Bolton sometimes almost 10 minutes behind time). Is this still the case does anybody know? Is it possible to look back and see when this train has arrived into Manchester for the 4 days this week so far?
And does anybody have any idea how busy the East Midlands train from MCO at 08.39 generally is. Seat reservations recommended? I'll be travelling with a rucksack and tent too which is why I'm wondering about the crowding...
Thanks in advance for any help / advise on where to look!
