Good evening

I’m travelling from Blackpool North to Huddersfield tomorrow evening, I have a through ticket, that requires a change of train at Preston and Manchester Piccadilly, I have to travel on the 18:47 departure from Preston as I have a reservation on it, the problem is that the recommended train from Blackpool North to Preston (18:03) service to Liverpool Lime Street has been cancelled most days since the timetable changes, if I arrive for this train and find it has been cancelled, I won’t have sufficient time to catch a Rail Replacement Bus to Preston and will miss my connection, what are my best options?

What type of ticket do you hold?

Advance, or Off Peak/Anytime?

This will be indicated at the top of your ticket.

What is the 'Ticket type'?

It will be either on the orange band at the top of the ticket, or just underneath it (unsurprisingly underneath the words 'Ticket type'!).

I would suggest that you arrive at Blackpool North in time for the 17:45 fast bus to Preston. Check if the 18:03 train is running, if it is wait for it, if not that bus will get you to Preston by 18:35. There would be no issue in you using an earlier bus or even I suspect an earlier train. I live in Blackpool and have adopted such an approach this week on my travels!

Now on the 17:15 Fast Bus to Preston, although the 18:03 is shown as running, I wasn't going to chance it, just in case it got cancelled too, this will give me ample time at Preston.
