Quote: Faxfan321 "Emergency Train ????

I have checked the timetables and as it stands today ie right now there are no extras either to or from Blackpool.

Thinking about the logistics I am right to believe that there is going to be an extra one parked up at Halifax with a driver and guard ready to spring into action - I think not - plus the only space to accomadate it at Halifax is in the siding next to Eureka and this is already used on sundays to make the extra services to and from Hudds etc .....

On the plus side at least our town is big enough to have a station - unlike our final opponents .....

Hopefully if the trains are rammed going Northern will have sense to put additonal units on for the return - its not so much gettin there more getting home that worries me as as you will see from my earlier post the options to get back maybe limited to three trains at best unless we want to go via Manchester which will take forever.'"

A lot of Leythers are traveling by train as well mate even though we have no rail link, icon_wink.gif People are getting trains from Atherton, Wigan, Bolton, Westhoughton and Horwich, all within a few mile radius.

We might have no station at the moment, but we're smack bang between two towns with regular direct trains to Blackpool so we've nowt to worry about icon_wink.gif

For those who don't know where Sowerby Bridge station is, by a strange coincidence, it's on Station Road in Sowerby Bridge.

As someone who uses this line every week in order to get to and from Fax games there will DEFINITELY need to be an extra carriage at the very least, more like two for the peak ones. Just on a normal Sunday with nothing on and standard weather the two carriages are always 1/2-3/4 full. Even when the Football season is mixed with the Rugby season they still only put two carriages on.

You'd have thought NORTHERN RAIL would have put some sort of deal for the fans for the final of the NORTHERN RAIL CUP! Especially as nearly every station including RL hotbeds like Accrington and Blackburn have posters of the competition as a whole and the final displayed throughout their stations as well as on their trains.

Northern Rail ran special trains for both sets of fans in 2006 when we got there and 2008 when I went to watch Salford v Doncaster so I've no idea why they haven't this season when this will be the biggest crowd of the lot!

They've run special trains in the past, but apparently for time table reasons they take really odd routes, the special from Cas a few years ago took a lot longer than getting the normal service that included a change that set off afterwards!

Won't be as simple as people think to put an extra service on, Its a sunday which inevitably means engineering work somewhere. which can lead to other trains been diverted as well which could put increased time constraints on part of the route.

If it was me getting the train and I wanted to make sure I was on it, I'd buy a return to Bradford earlier on and get on the blackpool train there!

Which would be a good idea, other than the first train to Bradford from Halifax arrives in Bradford at 9:18, so no good for catching the first train to Blackpol at 9:17!

I've e-mailed Northern Rail - I'll post back if I get a response.

just recieved an e-mail from northern rail and its as follows.

Thank you for your e-mail, which I received recently.

We have no plans to strengthen services between Halifax and Blackpool for this event. As kick-off is at 1700, we believe people will travel to Blackpool throughout the day. Trains to Blackpool are all planned to be 3 carriages apart from the 0917 and 1207 departures. Trains from Blackpool after the match are:

2017 departure 3 carriages

2113 departure 2 carriages.

Meh, I'll give it a miss then. Wouldn't have minded going as I enjoyed last years but we stopped over. Don't fancy standing for 90 minutes with someone's armpit in my face and someone widdling in my pocket because they can't be bothered to extend a service they know will be packed. Heard a cracking moan from one driver as we were coming into Manchester once whereby he was slagging off the management over the PA system for spending all the dosh on the East Coast services. Don't know if it was true but it was funny!

This whole situation seems ridiculous to me - it is going to be chaos getting home. 5 carriages to take us home from Blackpool and these have to be shared with day trippers etc.

I have emailed the club with my concerns as hopefully Northern will listen to them, no disrespect to individuals who have contacted Northern but hopefully if the club express concerns then at least I feel we have done all we could.

One final option is a train to Manchester at 2020 and then the 2208 from Machester to Fax but as the one to Manchester stops at Bolton it may already be full with Leigh Fans.
