There has been significant disruption on the Mid Cheshire rail line this week due to a number of (claimed) reasons.
Firstly (and maybe on-going), "slippery rails" caused by leaf fall proved to be challenging in South Manchester and Cheshire and some trains have not been calling at Ashley, Mobberley, Cuddington, Delamere, and Mouldworth. It is not known how long this will continue - roughly speaking, trains to Manchester have been stopping at odd hours, e.g.1318, and to Chester at even hours. Times for the next day are given at very short notice so it is best to check on the day of travel. PRESS HERE for 'Live Departure' information for our station.
Today (Friday the 13th!), a number of trains have also been cancelled due to "a fault in the signalling system".
Definitely check the Live Departure information (see above) if you are planning to travel at the moment.
