Northern Rail

[St Helens Rider]

RE: Northern Rail
Does not help on some hours that the service is timed identical to a Freight Path. The 1630 from Preston is one example - due at Wigan at 1651 - guaranteed most nights there is a Freight train coming through at this time, thus delaying the Liverpool service (if it isn't delayed already).

Have also noticed on the Wigan - St Helens Central stretch that it tends to only take around 12 minutes but actually timetabled for 15 minutes.
