@northernassist @northernassist What was the fault & when was recorded? The train starts at Preston. I don't have the time to wait 1hr for the next service.

@NikGrounds Hi there, this service has been cancelled due to a fault on the train. Sorry for this, your ticket will be valid on the next service and you will be entitled to delay repay because of this: delayrepay.northernrailway.co.uk/en/make-claim

@northernassist Why is the 16:10 Lytham to Blackpool South service cancelled?

@northernassist Hi. Why is the 6:43am Ansdell & Fairhaven service to Preston cancelled this morning?

@northernassist @MGoddard2001 @AvantiWestCoast There is no refreshment trolley on the Yorkshire Dales Explorer service on Saturdays 😥

@MGoddard2001 @AvantiWestCoast Hello, there are refreshment trolley's yes^EK

There’s been a lot of talk about @AvantiWestCoast diverting their trains via the iconic Settle-Carlisle line recently. Just a reminder - our trains operate this route all year round 😉

@northernassist It's not really good enough on such a busy commuting line. It was standing room only after Manchester Piccadilly.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused, please be assured that we are deploying all available carriages across the network to accommodate passengers as efficiently as possible. Trains may be short-formed due to issues with rolling stock, such as technical faults, maintenance, or carriage shortages. Occasionally, a shorter replacement train is used when the original isn’t available, leading to fewer carriages than planned. Hope this helps explain.

@northernassist Afternoon. Why is 16:53 Manchester Oxford Rd to Barrow service only 3 carriages? It used to be 6 carriages.

Today's @TheBenthamLine 12 mile walk: Wennington, Lodge Lane, Lodge Fm, Park House, Windy Bank Barn, Castle Stede, Loyn Bridge, Lune Valley Ramble, Crow Wood, Aughton Barns, Aughton, Chapel Wood, Sidegarth, Sidegarth Gate, Swarthdale, Kirk House, Over Kellet, Kellet Rd, Carnforth

@northernassist Delayed 15:48, departed Preston 16:07

@NikGrounds Hi there, thanks for letting us know. Please can you confirm the departure time of this service? ^ELT

@northernassist #57134 Preston to St. Annes On Sea - the current service - Rubbish on the floor and seats.

@northernassist Morning. Why is 07:13 Preston to Manchester Airport service only 3 carriages the past couple of weeks? It used to be 6 carriages.

@itsbritishbirds Hi. Due to illness, I have two spares for tonight's gig. Face value.

@A_J_Snowden You may wish to ask Northern Rail, what is happening to our Sunday train services on the South Fylde line?

@northernassist @northernassist It would be helpful if you updated NRE when a service gets cancelled. Also the display screen is out of service at Ansdell and Fairhaven train station.

@NikGrounds Hi there, sorry about this it has been cancelled due to unavailable staff. ^EK

@northernassist Morning. Please can you provide an update on 06:43 Ansdell to Preston, National Rail Enquiries shows on time, but the train hasn't arrived

Anyone have a further spare ticket for tonight? @redrichardson1 @frogandbucket

@northernassist #57136 Blackpool South to Preston - Carriages don't appear to have been cleaned since yesterday. Rubbish on the floor and seats.

#heardacuckoo this morning in Dunsop Valley

Anfield South with @cjhoulding #JurgenRemindedUs

@northernassist Thanks 😕

@NikGrounds Hi Nik, I cannot predict this sadly. ^LN

@northernassist Please can you provide an update on this service. It never ran from Preston this morning

@northernassist Hi. Thanks for the update. Odd that a derailed train in Grange Over Sands from last week impacts an advertised service running from Preston, will this continue for the rest of this week?

@NikGrounds Hi Nik, this service should be leaving Preston now. The delay was caused by disruption relating to a derailed train. I'm sorry for this. ^LN
