Manchester to Newcastle - Train cancellations on Sunday

[1961_vintage]

Having done some searching, it's not that deep (as it stands). Only directs from manchester to Newcastle are affected.

The trains that were going going from Victoria are still running but they're only going as far as York. There are then trains running from York to Newcastle.

9.22 Victoria to York 11.05
9.27 Piccadilly to York 11.36
10.06 Victoria to York 12.03
10.30 Piccadilly to York 12.36

11.08 York to Newcastle
11.31 York to Newcastle
12.31 York to Newcastle
13.31 York to Newcastle

A chance to relive those halcyon days and, for the 150,000 that were there, 19 December 1998 in particular.

Trains back are worse. There's one at 18.43 and one at 19.41. It might be worth leaving early to try catch the 18 43.

Unless there's a lot of added time you shouldn't need to leave early for the 1843. That's the last southbound TPE but assuming other companies will accept tickets, I'd expect a later connection at York would be OK.

At least there can be a few more who can say they went to York

Having had travel issues last weekend (minor in comparison), anyone inconvenienced has my sympathies.

I wonder why people moan about the trains in this country.

It almost feels like it is done to cause them ost inconvenience, tossers.

Of course it is,that's the idea behind a strike

Seems your right S. 5 days late, the barstewards. Looking at the Saints game in early oct as a possibility. Have to see how the piggy bank is shaping up a bit nearer the time. Then I'll just have potential train strikes to try to dodge. Might fly into sunny Manchester instead. Then deal with the chaos at Dublin and Manchester airports!

I wouldn't risk it. It will be lucky to finish by 1825 and, 5 mins to get out of the ground and 10 mins walks if no one is in your way, which there will be. Then you need to give it a few mins at the station to get to the right platform etc.

LNER accept TPE on Sunday. Cross Country also run the route although not mentioned as accepting TPE on the TPE website which seems odd!!

Nowhere in the opening post does he mention the trains have been called off for strike action.
