Well thank fuck for that. Anyway, back to only coming on here to complain to Northern Rail. #Election2024

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@TPEassist So, will TPE refund however much the ScotRail train costs? Also, it looks like they’re still accepting Avanti tickets so are you sure it’s their decision?

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@TPEassist Ok. Can you explain why when we set off the advice page said this (when disruption was only until 2pm) and now it’s changed to noon?

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@TPEassist Hello. Is it right that ScotRail service can only be used until noon seeing as disruption is until at least 6pm? Thanks.

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

Jesus wept. In an incredibly crowded field, she has to be the worst Tory.

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@BeeNetwork Thank you.

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@BeeNetwork Great experience at Bolton bus station just now. The 534 pulled into stand C early (as it always does) so the 537, due at 16:58, decided to just drive round and not pull in anywhere. Not brilliant when there’s only one an hour.

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@Lin46 @northernassist Exactly. We tracked the 18:20 until it had left Poulton, naively assuming it’d turn up. Then the tracker updated making out that it had never even set off from Blackpool.

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

What’s going on with the Preston to. Bolton trains @northernassist ?
Now the 18:20 is cancelled and all we’ve been told is to wait for the next one in an hour.

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@northernassist Maybe you should send them to platform 2 to explain what’s going on instead of leaving it to the Avanti staff (who are trying their best).

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@northernassist Avanti station staff? Surely you should know more than them?

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@northernassist So what happens if the 19:20 doesn’t run. Won’t that exceed your two hour limit for delays?

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@northernassist Great. And that’s supposed to placate people who have been waiting hours at Preston? Why can’t you put a replacement bus on? Can you guarantee the 19:20 will run?

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@northernassist And what about the 17:10 and 17:19? And this is after the direct 15:55 from Windermere to Bolton turned into a minibus to Oxenholme!

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

Stumbled on the Barbican. This is cool, I wonder how much the flats are…

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@northernassist Not really good enough is it. The train I booked on had set off before I bought my ticket. Was the driver spirited away?

[Martin Clarke @ClarkeMSC]

@northernassist Any explanation beyond ‘lack of train crew’ as to why you’re cancelling trains left, right and centre from Bolton to Manchester?
