Quote from: Meanwood Villa on February 18, 2018, 11:03:50 PMQuote from: frank on February 18, 2018, 09:20:56 PMIt's not all that clear on the National Rail website, but it appears that there may be a rail replacement bus service between Preston and Manchester via Horwich every weekend, unless they've drawn a bus in the wrong place on their map. See links below. I hope someone can tell me I'm wrong! I can't see a bus service coping with a football crowd.http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/182896.aspxhttp://www.nationalrail.co.uk/static/documents/maps/Man%20Pre%20via%20Salford%20C.pdfIncidentally, it seems that there's a rail replacement bus for the last part of the route to Hull (about an hour) on Easter Saturday, the day we play there.When I've looked at train tickets online for Bolton on 17th they don't indicate it being a bus service from Piccadilly.I'd noticed that, Meanwood, but National Rail say this in their announcement:QuoteThese changes are not currently shown in the National Rail Enquiries Journey Planner, please check back nearer to the time of travel.That's what makes it all rather confusing. As I say, I hope I'm wrong
