Just after listening to Lee Wasnidge and Paul Salveson tell people attending Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority’s public transport seminar at Manchester Town Hall how well they are doing, I found that my afternoon train to Littleborough was cancelled. I caught a train to Rochdale where I waited half an hour for a train home.
During that time the new “fast” (i.e. doesn’t stop at Littleborough) train called and the conductor was asked by a fellow passenger if it was now going to stop at Littleborough to address the problem of he cancelled train. Nope, came the answer.
WHY NOT?
Manchester to Littleborough: 1 hour 10 minutes. What a disgrace!!
