Northern has announced details of cancellations to train services on Sunday 2nd September 2018 in the North West.

Northern have chosen the train services to minimise the impact on passengers.

The routes that are most affected are Liverpool, Greater Manchester and Lancashire.

In these areas, engineering works have caused difficulties in short-term notice scheduling of train crews.

Planned cancellations are as follows:

• Blackpool South – Colne cancellations
  • One train every two hours between Blackpool South and Colne. Some replacement bus services will be available.
  • Northern recommend travelling to Blackpool North from Burnley Manchester Road, Accrington or Blackburn.
• Lancaster – Morecambe – part cancellations
  • Two-part cancellations between Morecambe and Heysham Port. Taxis will be provided for customers travelling between the port and Lancaster.
• Blackpool North – Wigan North Western – Liverpool
  • Passengers should use the hourly service between Wigan and Huyton. Passengers can also use the Blackpool to Manchester Aiport service.
• Liverpool – Manchester Airport
  • Hunts Cross to Liverpool Lime Street closed due to existing engineering works
  • Passengers can use the trains from Hunts Cross via Warrington and East Midlands Trains service to Liverpool South Parkway.
• DalesRail services
  • The 8.40am Blackpool North – Carlisle is cancelled.
  • The 17:25 Carlisle – Leeds service is now the 17:48 and will make additional stops along the Dales Rail route

Anyone whose journey is delayed by 30 minutes or more can apply for compensation via Delay Repay. Details of which can be found here.
