Don't think you'll have much of a problem at that time of day, unless it goes through Bolton or Wigan?!

I am not sure, spoke to someone last night and there are 37 of them catching this train. I know at least another 10 that have said they are catching this train as well. I think it is a popular choice for people with kids like myself who are getting the first train and then heading for blackpool pleasure beach.

Give Northern Rail a ring for assurances they will have extra carriages. The biggest problem will be coming back

not coming back until monday, but i think its worth giving them a call

As I work on our glorious network here are the options

From Fax to Blackpool

Dep 09.16 – arr 10.53
Dep 10.07 – arr 11.40
Dep 11.07 – arr 12.39 and so on ......

From Blackpool to Fax

Dep 19.13 – arr 20.45 – maybe a bit tight after watching the celebrations
Dep 20.11 – arr 21.45
Dep 21.13 – arr 22.45 ** LAST ONE ** ** not to celebrating Fax Fans **

A bit of further information the Blackpool service is always busy with day trippers etc and the service is made up usually of 2 or 3 car units. As nice a thought as it is I do not think it is quite as easy as ringing Northern and asking them to bung a couple of extra cars on – but it is nice thought !!!!!

The service is limited stop so anyone travelling from Sowerby Bridge or Mytholmroyd will have to get connecting services to Halifax or Hebden Bridge. For anyone going from Brighouse like me the first one leaves at 09.36 to arrive at Halifax for 09.46. The last one leaves Halifax at 22.42.

I will see anyone who is going by train on the 10.07 for what will hopefully be a fun packed great day. I know I do not need to mention it to the people of Halifax but the train staff are in constant contact with the BTP so please behave and remember regardless of the result we are representing our Great Club !!!!!!!

We'll be on the 13:38 from Hebden on the Sat afternoon

Forgot to add on my previous post that the person who is in the party of 37 said that he had contacted Northern Rail and they were going to have emergency trains at Halifax as they have anticipated there may be an overflow.
