Hi everyone,
Just had a look at NRE and have seen the disruption between Manchester Piccadilly and Stoke on Trent because of an overhead line failure at Cheadle Hulme.
I hold the following tickets - Anytime Return from Stalybridge to Stoke-On-Trent and an Advance purchase ticket from Stoke-on-Trent on the 17.54 LM service to London Euston.
I plan to make the following journey, 16.46 Stalybridge to Manchester Piccadilly, arr. 17.05 (TPE). 17.15 Manchester Piccadilly to Stoke on Trent (VT) arr 17.49, and then the 17.54 LM to Euston.
I have deliberately left enough time to cover myself under the minimum connection rule.
My question is, if disruption continues and VT services are being diverted via Crewe and then on to Stoke, can I speak to the guard on the Pendo and ask him if I can continue on the VT service all the way to Euston? As the 17.54 LM service is the last direct train of the day, and should the VT be diverted I will miss this.
Thanks in advance! Dan
