The train service at Nantwich is pretty poor with many 2 hour gaps in the timetable.

I travelled on a single class 153 unit to Nantwich a few weeks ago….!

There are often delays on the north Wales coast caused by too many passengers. Chester Races, sunshine, caravan park customers with pushchairs, cool bags, suitcases, giant Sports Direct Holdalls packed with pop, lager, crisps, pies, sandwiches, plus walking sticks, zimmer frames, bicycles...

But Chester is a huge traffic generator. Probably Merseyrail’s busiest station after Liverpool City Centre stations and Southport I think Cheshire CC may have also chipped in a few quid for Chester electrification back in the day?

I very much doubt Merseyrail have any interest in running between Ellesmere Port and Helsby, as none of the route lies within Liverpool City Region. It would be cheaper, to run an hourly bus from Ellesmere Port to Helsby via Cheshire Oaks connecting with trains and could be started up in a...

Imagine what the % growth would be if there were no strikes, overtime bans, TransPennine Upgrade engineering works or ‘short notice changes to the timetable’….

Probably because Avanti have lots of practice at issuing Delay Repay for cancelled trains…!

Yep, pretty much! Well it certainly appears that way, virtually no timetables or route numbers at bus stops, no printed timetables, little or no marketing of bus services, scruffy poorly presented vehicles, very few bus stations or official rail/bus interchange hubs…. Arriva website virtually...

Is there a bus from Ellesmere Port to Warrington…?

Indeed, why the heck it’s numbered 5 when Arriva run various number 5’s that don’t go anywhere near Llanrwst! It is extremely confusing but according to the Llew Jones website it appears as though the 1715 runs as follows: Mondays-Thursdays School/College Days Fridays-Saturdays all year Not...

No London trains terminate at Llandudno or Llandudno Junction. Avanti, when they can be bothered operate some trains from London to Holyhead via Llandudno Junction.

There is a number 19 bus at 1715 from Llandudno as far as Llanrwst operating via Trefiew

The original poster was complaining about poor connections FROM Bangor onto Conwy Valley trains to Betws hence the suggestion that the direct T10 bus from Bangor to Betws is better…

Remarkably the Matlock leaves Derby on time and often waits a few hundred metres north of Derby station to let the ‘connecting’ Sheffield bound train pass….

The 62 is a brand new bus service starting on 30 June and will be operating daily. Timetables shown on High Peak Buses website and no doubt will appear on Derbyshire CC website soon

There is no attempt to coordinate train and bus connections at Matlock, or anywhere else in the Peak District for that matter, similar to public transport provision in Snowdonia.

10 minutes would have been ample as usually cross-platform interchange… There is usually a bit of recovery time at Matlock for the return trip.

You couldn’t make this up! And to make matters worse both trains are operated by EMR! The 2 hourly service to Matlock on Sundays until early afternoon is totally inadequate on a route carrying many passengers to/from the Peak District. Indeed there was a standing load at lunchtime on a Derby...

If you are travelling between Bangor and Betws you are better off on the T10 bus every 2 hours. 1716659818 Absolutely, if all Blaenau Ffestiniog trains terminated/started from Llandudno Junction instead of running through to Llandudno you might as well close the Conwy Valley Line and operate an...
