Members burnden Posted July 28, 2016 Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 Fans will not be able to use the Horwich Parkway train station to get to matches for the first two months of the season http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/14647569.Football_fans_facing_travel_headache_due_to_Macron_Stadium_train_station_closure/?ref=fbshr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPS Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Great planning again, just when then football season is about to start. Why didn't they just doit when the bridges were getting work done and the line already closed?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morizio Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Great planning again, just when then football season is about to start. Why didn't they just doit when the bridges were getting work done and the line already closed?!? Because that way they wouldn't have been able to maximise the amount of people they could piss off. Outstanding timing again. What will the odds be on some other unexpected delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Heard on the ITK grapevine itll be after Christmas. The work done previously was done by a different firm. This new lot that have come in are having to either re-do what was done or start again. That rail replacement coach leathering it down country lanes to go to Lostock Station to pick nobody up... i thought those days were gone!

gonzo Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Just as the work finishes at HP it starts between Blackpool and Preston. Again. I can see me missing a lot of matches again this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I don't think they are thinking about our league 1 fixtures when they look to run rail infrastructure projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 ITK - we've sold the track and station to Wigan and it is going to be moved brick by brick over the next 8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embankment Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We don't half put up with some crap round here. No bloody trains AGAIN. 50mph on the motorway and the town's a dumping ground for Syria's finest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freds dad Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 So much for planning to go to the Fleetwood match on the train and have a beer session. I usually drive and was looking forward to the change. Fcuking British Rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberDan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Bury doesn't have a rail station, neither does Fleetwood or Oldham, Northern powerhouse my arse. Meanwhile I have just clicked on National Rail Enquiries and at the top is an advert saying "Don't chance it, avoid the roadwork's, get the train......"

gonzo Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 If you can get to poulton on train, Fleetwood is ten minutes away in a cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 There's a bus from Blackpool to bury. Or there used to be. If not just pile on a coach headed for the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberDan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yeah, but that's not the point, you can get the tram to Oldham but the point is there should be the rail network there, I mean Redcar British Steel still has a station despite the plant being closed!
