RE: Northern Rail
The 22:20 LIV - MCV was also cancelled. Both down to no crew to work the service... Not good for residents of Eccles or Patricroft! |

Were you on the train? Did it miss out any other stations? Seems very weird to just miss one. SD. |

Northern have terminated a lot of services short or missed out stations for delays of under 50 minutes and given staffing hours as the reason for doing that. Maybe it's a case of a number of crew members not being willing to finish late? Yes, really. I would suspect it would be much more likely a case of staff shortages. SD. |

I have read elsewhere that the winning bid for the next Northern franchise is to be announced a week on Friday (December 4th) |

RE: Northern Rail
Northern (as well as Virgin and TPX) have been affected by a person being hit by a train between Preston & Wigan this afternoon. When I was coming back the 1550 (1530 from Preston) to South Parkway was cancelled and people heading southbound were advised to go to Lime Street on the stopping service and get connections from there. |

With TPE all bids apparently were good enough and First are rumoured to be favourites. |
