In the past the following route has come up for traveling to Rochdale. London-Warrington-Newton le Willow-Manchester Victoria.
A route to take or to avoid at all costs? |  |

That’s a bit of messing about. I’m fairly sure all London trains go to Warrington Bank Quay. There *should* be pretty regular trains from there to Piccadilly but strike action is probably going to hamper that. You’re also going to have to get from Piccadilly to Victoria. |  | | |

It does say the train is direct from Newton-Victoria. Just enquiring if it is a route worth the hassle? | |

It is actually not bad however does it show a 4 minute connection at WBQ. If train from Euston is late, means 56 mins till next one. |  | | |

Be careful with the connecting trains. Our timetables are knackered with the strike action. The timetables seem to be revised a day or two before the strike day.
Up to you obviously but assuming you’ve got to get a train Into London 4 trains seems like a ball ache! | | | |

Does sound like it is best to stick to my usual route to Manchester. Unless anyone can think of a good reason for the other route. | |

At least you have 3 trains an hour to Piccadilly from Euston. | | | |

yes Euston - Piccadilly

Victoria to Rochdale 19 mins on the fast train. ( if they are running!! ). | | | |

Ancoats.....do you work for the Rail Network?
Is this strike anywhere near a satisfactory conclusion or are parties still miles apart?
Is it likely to get resolved soon or are we all in for the long haul and more disruption.
Is Government involved? | | | |

Just to interject as far as I know the RMT will not budge on the role of guard/a guaranteed 2nd person on trains.
Govt is involved most definitely | |

Thanks, Jimbo......If the Govt are involved what are they actually doing,it really is causing a great deal of frustration to the general public.
Personally think that every train should have a guard/ticket collector or whatever...the Driver should just concentrate on his own job. Is that the main dispute? | | | |

Nope! Sorry, by “our” I meant the collective of train travel oop north as I recall James is travelling in from near Brighton. Our knackered trains as opposed to their shiny , seemingly more reliable ones down south.
I do travel a lot by train so know how frustrating getting back into Rochdale on a Saturday can be. On match day my supposed ~15 minute journey from to/from central Manchester often takes nearly an hour with a mixture of buses and trams if the timetable isn’t kind to me. | | | |

Hence the lifts from the Tibetan Monks being extremely helpful. | |
