Quite a walk if your a girl!

It's only about 10 minutes at a steady pace, quite a few good watering holes on the way will slow you down though.

The town full of wires again, jeez ill have to lie down again.

10 minutes are you sure. I used to walk from Widnes to Latchford on a regular basis and it would take 2 hours sober, 3 hours p1ssed.

I assume the original poster meant from Widnes station to the ground.

The train was sound last year. Not many on until Warrington when there was suddenly a mass pile on with others on the train looking confused as to what it was all about, then a packed singalong for five minutes on the way back before a mass pile out at Warrington and a few confused (and relieved they'd got off) people asking me who they all were.

Was funny on the way there as well. Couldn't believe they didn't have people at the entrance to station to check tickets. Would have made a fortune.

Don't pay just get on it at central and off at smogville. Never a conductor in site last year!

I think it's outrageous that people fare jump. I know someone who works for Network Rail (or whatever they're called) and I'm going to make sure I encourage him to get conductors ready for this day. He's done it before and got a load of extra fees/convictions out of it.

Buy tickets Wire fans - don't get caught out!
