The Great Train Robbery
In 1560s Lake District miners began using horse drawn wagons on wooden rails to haul coal. When Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive in 1804, Britain gave the world the ‘railway’ as we know it today.
In 1911, with its 14 platforms, Blackpool Central was the world’s busiest railway station, ferrying millions of passengers from all over Britain to our golden sands.
Today Blackpool Central is a memory and the Poulton to Fleetwood line is closed. Why?
Because Arriva ran North West trains so badly, its franchise was revoked in 2020 and the service is now run by the Department for Transport. Yet only 5 franchises have been brought back to public ownership. Another 23 franchises continue to see private operators paying
shareholders millions in dividends and whilst running a shambles of a service to the public. Why?
Last year the German government ran a highly successful €9 monthly transport pass to get people onto public transport, reduce their carbon emissions and offset soaring energy costs. Luxembourg has completely free public transport. Next month, whilst we struggle with a cost of living crisis, our rail fares will increase by 5.9%. Why?
Avanti has wrecked the key London to Glasgow service. Only 1 in 3 of their trains arrive on time and 8% of trains are cancelled at the last minute. They have cut 65 trains per day and reduced the Manchester to London service to just 1 train per hour. I have witnessed the result first hand - overcrowding, cancellations, delays, out of use toilets, broken air conditioning, no heating, no food
Featured In Your February List...
or drinks and not enough staff. Yet Avanti shareholders have just received a £13.5m dividend. Why?
Services in the north of England and Scotland (away from Westminster) seem to be the worst. TransPennine Express runs Manchester to Hull and is in complete disarray with cases of people lying in train floors and disabled unable to travel at all. Why?
We are forced into rush hour traffic jams because it is cheaper and more reliable to travel to work by car than by rail. Why?
Years of crony capitalism, privatisation, & underinvestment have brought us to this. It’s time for a change.
We deserve a better rail system.

Hearing tests at home…
Andrew specialises in the highest quality of Private Hearing Care. He is a highly qualified Private Hearing Aid Audiologist with a Masters Degree in Audiological Science (University College London) and is National Health Clinically Trained with over 20 years experience.
Wax Removal
Compacted earwax or ‘Cerumen’ can cause temporary hearing loss and adversely affect the performance of hearing aids. ‘Micro-suction’ is a safe, gentle and very effective way of removing wax using a soft suction or vacuum, without using jets of water as with traditional ear syringing. Andrew is one of the few Private Hearing Aid Audiologists clinically trained for micro-suction removal of wax from the ear, all within the comfort of your own home.
Using the very latest, high specification, diagnostic equipment. Sound insulating headphones will reduce ambient noise levels allowing specialist high frequency hearing testing.
tyMpanoMetry
Impedance testing used to assess the condition of the middle ear more accurately.
Video otoscopy
Your Complete Assessment with Andrew includes Medical Questionnaire & Hearing assessMent
You’ll view a video image within your own ear. Should wax be present, Andrew can offer a skilled and quick removal service without the need for GP referral.
coMpreHensiVe Explanation of Results
You’ll receive a copy of your Audiogram for your own records.
Your Hearing Assessment with Andrew will take around 1 hr 30 mins Total cost of home assessment is £80 £55 for a branch assessment.
We are unable to offer appointments in Poulton at this time but we are able to see clients in our Blackburn Clinic or offer Home Visits.
