RE: Arriva Trains Wales
Currently no service Chester - Warrington due to a chemical spillage that has also closed the M56

RE: Arriva Trains Wales
Services now operating again after the exclusion zone was made smaller at Daresbury.

To compound the problem though Crewe - Chester services suspended now due to a unit hitting a herd of cows near Beeston Castle.

Arriva Trains Wales staff are to strike on the 12th and 13th

[wirralbus]

RE: Arriva Trains Wales
Led to believe if this strike action goes ahead then there will be no service at all. With NO replacement road transport.

So the only services along the coast or between Chester and Crewe will be operated by Virgin Trains.

The leaf fall season has been hitting the Wrexham - Bidston quite hard this week, there's been a number of cancellations and short running's this week, especially of a morning

RE: Arriva Trains Wales
With the Bidston - Wrexham service when the service is seriously out of kilter the service seems to run Shotton - Wrexham Central , is it little wonder that passenger from Neston , Heswall and Upton use other means to complete there journeys towards Liverpool.

RE: Arriva Trains Wales
The Llandudno - Manchester services that presently terminate at Manchester Piccadilly seem to be in the news again .

The service after terminating goes in to Mayfield Loop and sits for a considerable amount of time . Arriva could actually get more out of these units if the service was actually terminated at Manchester Oxford Rd and sent back quicker .

The real reason for the use of Mayfield Loop is that the service was always intending to be extended to Manchester Airport , which now does not seem to be allowed to happen by Network Rail saying the paths belong to a service from the Calder Valley , which can only be introduced when the Ordsall Cord is built and up and running.
