After arriving at Wigan. Found out that the 1816 @northernassist servicr from Southport to Alderle Edge is cancelled in its entirety. This is due to no driver. Apologies again
11 Dec 2021
My 1621 @northernassist service from Oxford Rd-Southport will terminate at Wigan. This is due to no forward driver. The 1816 Southport-Alderley Edge will start at Wigan
Apologies for this

This view has changed a bit due to the former island platform being cleared of the vegetation that has grown over the 23 years. Here is a bit more history of the station and some former view

Apologies to those of you waiting my 1831 @northernassist service from Stalybridge to Southport. I'm running a tad late as had to follow a freight train. I'm just at Kearsley 10 minutes late. Sorry about that

Incidents on the WCML affecting @AvantiWestCoast and @TPExpressTrains also those on the ECML affecting @LNER @LumoTravel @CrossCountryUK and @northernassist have now ended. Both lines are now open. Although there will be delays. This is due to trains and crews out of place
