We come across many examples of fare dodging, but this traveller clearly has no intention of ever paying. Railway staff are very well aware of that and have stopped him many times. "An arrest warrant against Brohiri for more than £30,015 in unpaid court fines was issued in February." Yet he...

It's probably about time to draw this thread to a close. Users of services between Sheffield and Manchester are not receiving the 3rd fast hourly service the scheme was supposed to deliver. A possible 4th hourly service by extending the New Mills stopper is unlikely to appear any time soon...

Network Rail are closing the route between Sheffield and Leeds via Barnsley for 2 weeks from Saturday 15th February to Sunday 2nd March tom investigate subsidence, possibly due to old mine workings...

In recent months Northern have been cancelling many services across the North, very many of them on hourly services. I came across two travellers this morning who'd purchased tickets for services that had been cancelled, next train an hour later. Both arrived over 15 minutes before their train...

I don't see a thread for this so here's the link to the dedicated websire to find out more; https://railway200.co.uk/ Apparently there's to be a special 4 carriage exhibition train that's to be moved around the country visiting many stations. There's nothing I can find to tell more on the unit...

Carrying the story forward from the Hope Valley Capacity Scheme thread. That had it's roots in antiquity, to the time when electrified passenger services ceased on 5th January 1970 between Manchester and Sheffield Victoria over Woodhead. That left the Hope Valley route to cope alone, by then...

Seems to be something badly wrong today. 3 successive hourly services cancelled on Hope Valley route between Manchester and Sheffield. Another cancelled later tonight already. Unhappy intending users stranded, at Edale presumably passing the time in the Rambler! Issues with train crew...

East Riding of Yorkshire Council consultation now live online, see; https://consultation.eastriding.gov.uk/s/ProposedMeltonParkwayInterchange/Proposed Melton Parkway Interchange

Tbis has been referred to indirectly in several recent threads but needs a thread of ts own. I've had several bad experiences myself and heard of many others. This Sunday my grandson caught a train from Sheffield to Newcastle. He stood the entire way hearing complaints from all sides in the...

Apologies if this has a thread elsewhere. Appeared on BBC's North Yorkshire website news page, presumably on air in that region; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-68446810

My phone news feed has thrown up a story from the John O'Groats Journal and Caithness Courier. Network Rail set to make urgent seawall repairs on Far North Line as major disruption to services continues between Inverness and Wick See...

This thread prompted by a digression in the Hope Valley Capacity Scheme Updates thread, see; https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/hope-valley-capacity-scheme-updates.168285/page-49 Over the last few decades the need to provide accessible access to platforms (and also for some footpaths)...

TPE's December timtables are live on RTT this morning. I've spotted that 1B96 2118 Liverpool Lime Street to Doncaster is stopping at Dore & Totley at 23.07 until 23.11 for pathing reasons only. Not apparently to let down passengers The previous 5 hourly trains stop in the public timetable...

Well now we know why Glen Sannox isn't the only problem Scots have with their island ferries. Our 2023 islands tour has been determined by what's actually running and has space available. Turned up in good time for Wemyss Bay to Rothesay and find only one boat in service. .Not turn up and go at...

Story in The Times, see UK train passengers face loss of free wi-fi. Kite fying? Passengers face losing access to wi-fi on trains after ministers told rail companies to cut costs.

I understand that all TOCs have been advised that the funding granted to support CRPs and station adoption groups is being cut by 25%. A cut was anticipated but the details may only have been confirmed last week. No doubt others will have more information. It will be for each TOC to decide how...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/mml-electrification-progress-updates.1104455 8 years and 207 pages ago the first post gave completion to Sheffield December 2020. I see no masts anywhere near Sheffield! I'm often asked when the Hope Valley line will be...

Just announced this morning although I think it has been flagged up previously. Message from Northern opened when I returned from my local station after picking up tickets so unable to comment on how well it works. I gather the team answering queries is based in Sheffield.
