Ta, sounds good to me.

Got the phone call as well today to say my ticket was ready for pick up .

These trains, and those from Bolton, are pretty reliable and usually clean and comfortable. The Bolton ones usually start from Manchester Airport and fair shift.

If getting on at Wigan, change at Lancaster and not Preston as you don't have to move platform to get your connection. Plus at Lancaster you'll see the Giant Axe ground and (what remains of) Quay Meadow, where Wigan and England legend Jim Leytham first learned the game.

It's also worth considering getting on at Chorley instead as I seem to think that the price drops significantly from there.

problem is theres only a 5 minute gap at lancaster , if the train is late from wigan next one is 2 hours. 3 15 in barrow, i suggest an earlier train from wigan. 10 48 leaves us 30 mins at lancaster

Jst incase people need them, there are additional free tickets available from the ticket office now.

How long is it by car to Barrow? Surprised the coaches are leaving at 11!

It's about 1hour 45 mins to 2 hours.

Got my ticket.

Got our tickets

Made up after i didn't think i'd be getting any!

Not seen anything on the Wigan website about this. Are they hoping people will end up buying them instead?
