🎉 Rail services at Congleton resume today (Saturday) after the 3 week blockade at Stockport. ✝️ However, Sunday services are still suspended and this is expected to continue until at least April 2026!! Watch this space for more on this shortly…
Still significant disruption today as the issues with the overhead wires continue, but diesel trains have been allocated to our services now (2 out of 3 diagrams) and most trains are now operating…check before travelling
❌ A reminder that due to the replacement of the Greek St roundabout in Stockport, there will be no rail services at all at Congleton between Saturday 2nd and Friday 22nd August inclusive. Bus replacements will operate between Stoke and Stockport serving Congleton
Easter weekend engineering work: ✅ Normal service Good Friday 18th ❌ No trains➡️bus replacements Saturday/Sunday/Monday 19/20/21 ❌ Also if travelling to London, note that Euston is also closed for engineering work on Sat/Sun/Mon 19-21 April Check before travelling! 🐣
Sunday bus replacements continue now until at least 30th March - that will be TWENTY SEVEN weeks since any train at all on a Sunday! 😡 This is now becoming the norm despite other lines still having more trains that we ever do, shameful @northernassist - @S_A_Russell
Note also that Avanti have reinstated their full Sunday schedules on the next 3 Sundays (16th/23rd Feb, 2nd March) pending union talks. But no sign currently of ANY progress with @northernassist to give us any train at all here after SIX MONTHS of abandonment! @S_A_Russell
Bus replacements again tomorrow, Sunday 16th Feb and scheduled now for the following 4 Sundays (until 16th March) - that will be TWENTY FIVE weeks since any train at all on a Sunday! 😡 And will be over 7 months since a normal (& still inadequate) Sunday service - @S_A_Russell
Bus replacements again tomorrow, Sunday 9th Feb - TWENTY weeks since our last Sunday train! 😡 And 6 months since a normal (& still inadequate) Sunday service
Bus replacements again this Sunday 2nd Feb - NINETEEN weeks since our last Sunday train! 😡 And 6 months since a normal (& still inadequate) Sunday service
🚧 Roadworks on Park Lane between The Parklands & Ayrshire Way for remodelling and puffin crossing installation start on Monday (3rd Feb) and continue until 21st March (😳) Access to the station will be maintained but through traffic will be prohibited and delays are likely…
Bus replacements again tomorrow (Sunday 26th Jan) - EIGHTEEN weeks since our last Sunday train! 😡 And nearly 6 months since a normal (& still inadequate) Sunday service
Storm Eowyn: ✅ Congleton trains are (so far) unaffected today with no cancellations and generally good running. If travelling further afield, note serious disruption on other routes including towards Birmingham and further north and in Scotland - check before travelling!
