(3) For off train option: visit to Chatsworth House.
(4) For off train option: canal boat cruise or East Lancashire Railway.
(5) Confirmation of routes between Manchester and Liverpool reqd. It is known
that the train reversed in Wigan. The rumoured reason is Network Rail need the
train out of Liverpool early, but this would have made the train too early back
to Manchester for the off train options.
