It's Christmas soon
And there are some traincrew working every rest day under the sun at the moment!
This thread has been all about cancellations on Sundays, yet there are still a similar amount of cancellations on a weekday, so who can we blame that on? Traincrew again, for not working every rest day under the sun?
How long is this going to continue? We all know for a fact that they will be more cancellations than the ones announced due to shortage of staff
- Wigan - Stalybridge: Rail replacement buses will be in place between Wigan and Bolton and between Manchester Victoria and Stalybridge.
- Lancaster – Morecambe: Rail replacement service will be in place between Lancaster and Morecambe
- Liverpool South Parkway – Manchester Airport express service will not be running. Customers can use alternative train services on that route. Please note that Liverpool Lime Street is closed this weekend for Network Rail signalling upgrade.
I would very much doubt there is spare capacity in the Voyager fleet especially on Sunday afternoons.As a side point, why are Virgin not running to Liverpool South Parkway this weekend? They could have positioned a Voyager to run a Crewe - South Parkway shuttle so they had something to fit on the platforms at South Parkway.
The inability to plug these supposed 'planned' and the additional 'unplanned' cancellations effectively means you have to presume there is no service at all on the relevant route.
I have just had to make that call in terms of getting from Warrington to Liverpool.
Is it not the case that, on such a journey on Sundays, as you describe above, Arriva North West service 7 from Warrington bus interchange to Liverpool Queen Square bus station runs every 30 minutes, so you are not exactly stranded in Warrington
I have not claimed to be stranded in Warrington.

Well there is a paragraph before it to help you with this difficult task. The call I have made, very simply, is not to trust the train between Warrington and Liverpool South Parkway today because of planned and unplanned cancellations.I, for one, didn't understand what you meant when you said the following.
The end game is to get to Hall Road station.
