From Manchester Victoria, Salford Central & Salford Crescent you can catch trains in either direction to Blackburn (via Rochdale & Todmorden Curve, or via Bolton)
In the evening rush hour both trains depart Salford at about the same time, and both have Blackburn as the final destination. The automated announcements on the platform do not make it very clear which one's which which can lead to some confusion. Travellers to Blackburn are 45 minutes better off going via Bolton.
