You work for Seimens mate? Its a pity TPE can't use Adrwick as a kind of staff halt, it would save a fortune on taxi fares!

Thanks for the advice. I have been recommended by a friend to speak to my MP about this and the council.

SFE in sensible suggestion shock !!!:D:p:eek:

It depends if there's a community group or a way of setting one up.

The Matlock train was mentioned in a post earlier, but the hourly service only came about due to pressure from the Friends of The Derwent Valley Line. It does however get strong support from the council which is trying to reduce congestion on the A6 road.

I would like to see "Northern" extend their Liverpool Lime Street - Warrington Bank Quay service to and from Ellesmere Port. It would give Chris an hourly service between Helsby and Ellesmere Port and would reduce overcrowding on the "Arriva Trains Wales" services between Warrington B.Q. and Helsby. Another benefit would be increased flexibility at Warrington Bank Quay as train movements are often restricted now that the Liverpool train blocks Platform 1 for 20 minutes in most hourly periods.

Does Northern have the rolling stock to do this?
Really, northern needs to get hold of a loco haulage permit to relieve the DMUs.
