RE: Northern Rail
Sometimes a Wigan stopper will get cancelled and replaced by a Blackpool North service stopping at all the stations that the Wigan service would stop at but and here is the caveat Network rail then have to be able to path the service between Wigan North Western and Euxton Junction on the double track section of line , this isnt always possible due to freight whose paths they aint going to disrupt because Network rail would have to pay out to them as well , its not as simple as it looks in Network rail control.
