I was heading towards platform 2 at South Parkway last night when I noticed the PIS showing my Northern operated train to West Allerton was not just showing the stops to Lime Street but also a message saying "We were the most reliable UK train operator in 2019" . Ha ha. I thought it was a mickey...

This service really needs looking at. It is a daily occurrence now (Probably multiple times a day) for the service to terminate a 350 full of passengers at South Parkway on platform 4 and send them over to platform 2 for the next service on to Lime Strert. Today in the evening peak the next...

There was a Voyager on the 17:47 Lime Street to Euston this evening. I think it ran in empty from Crewe before hand. Anyone know why? I presume a Pendo failed or got stuck somewhere without a replacement available.

Absolute disgrace. Northern started cancelling trains at short notice. The boards said rail replacement buses were outside. Two buses were outside, one driver was saying he wasn't going to West Allerton. I saw other people getting on the other bus that I recognised. I asked the driver if he was...

Was just on the 19:50 rail replacement bus from Liverpool Lime Street to Hunts Cross and got held up by a car from a class 331 unit being delivered passing in front of us by the bus shelter at the end of Penny Lane.

Been sat at Weaver Junction for about an hour and a half now on the Virgin Trains 14:34 service from South Parkway to Euston with about two announcements. Not good enough.

Just got on an Arriva rail replacement bus and showed the driver my trio ticket. He said I was meant to use the normal bus. He let me on when I pointed out I would have been using the same ticket on the train his bus was replacing. The guy is getting overtime replacing the train I would have...

Hi folks, just got a query on behalf of my brother for tomorrow. He can get an advance on the 11:54 Euston to Liverpool tomorrow for £38. This train isn't actually going to run and the website tells him to go from St Pancras. On an advance booking from Euston will he still have to be on a...

I am sure I have mentioned this before but couldn't find a thread. I love Liverpool South Parkway station, it is really nice in many ways. On the down side it has 3 toilets, not 3 blocks, 3 toilets. I arrived there at around mid day and the one by the mainline platforms had a queue of 3 people...

Are there any polar explorers on the forum? What is the furthest North, East, South or West you have been. Was just intrigued after seeing some of the amazing places other people have been on the thread about other countries you have visited outside the UK thread. For myself I think the furthest...

Apologies if this has already been discussed, I did a search and couldn't find anything. Found the program quite entertaining and enjoyed seeing a couple of places I had visited. Was wondering if anyone else watched it and what they thought. If I had a criticism it would be that it was a bit...

My old laptop which did everything fine has sadly died, I am now using one a girl in work gave me for free which was jolly decent of her. It is a relatively old machine, a Toshiba, but there is something odd about it. The default web browser is Safari, the one you get on Apple machines and it...

Northern seem to be using a bus company today that are not bothering calling at intermediate stations between South Parkway and Lime Street. Been a good few years since this has happened but it isn't good enough.

This one interested me today. I got off at the front door of a 156 and by the time I reached the middle of the unit the guard closed the doors. A carrier bag was sticking out so the guard opened the doors again. An old boy got off the train and started to shout at the guard that the same thing...

I got a fixed penalty notice of £80 this morning for dropping a cigarette end outside West Allerton Station. I paid it it right away as I was bang to rights. I got back to West Allerton station 7 hours later and the cigarette end was still there on the pavement. If you walk a bit further down...

I went on what I think was a refurbished Northern 319 today with the new disabled access toilet etc. and was surprised at how retro the seat moquette looked. It looked nice inside but it didn't look... erm.... modern.

I am struggling to find which aircraft operated 3 flights I was on and if anyone can help I would appreciate it. What I am after is a BA 744 that did Heathrow to Hong Kong on the evening of 11/08/2011. The LAN A343 that did Auckland to Santiago on 24/12/2011. The BA 777 that did Buenos Aires to...

Just put a complaint in to Northern about 2 journies on 142 036 3 hours apart on the same day. They are actually quite comical but I thought the feedback should be given. What I sent them is in quotes below. "I caught the 10:36 from West Allerton to South Parkway this morning. I was caught...

Hi folks, wasn't sure where to put this. It is my dads 70th on the 16th January. Me and my siblings have decided for his birthday we are going to take him on a steam railtour. This doesn't of course have to be on 16th January, in fact I couldn't afford it, ha ha, but if anyone can advise on...

Apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum but this is the second month on the bounce I have not been able to buy a Monthly C1 Trio at either South Parkway or West Allerton and have had to buy an alternative ticket. What recourse do I have and what is going on with the Trios. How can a...
