Train guide goes pocket-sized
17/12/2007
RAIL passengers can now pick up a pocket-sized Trainguide for Rochdale, Castleton, Littleborough, Milnrow and Smithy Bridge train stations.
Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) has produced the handy guides to coincide with the new winter timetables.
As well as featuring station arrival and departure times, the guides include a route plan indicating journey times to Manchester and information about connecting bus services.
Maps show people how to make their way around the stations and other useful information includes ticket office opening hours and phone numbers.
Michael Renshaw, GMPTE's interim service delivery director, said: "Knowing what services and connections are available from a station can make all the difference when planning a journey.
"These guides give passengers all the essential information about their local station and are small enough to keep with you in a purse or wallet.
"We've printed them to coincide with the latest timetable changes, which will be in force until May."
Passengers can pick up a copy at their local station or from local post offices or libraries. Copies are also available from Manchester's Piccadilly and Victoria train stations.
