    Northern Rail details taken

    My understanding is anyone under 16, the parents deal with it. Correspondence is sent to Parents / Guardian of the person concerned.

    Flash your pass to most guards before boarding you shouldn't have a problem.

    Door controls left open

    So...? Scenario A "It was open, I was closing it" "Ok thanks!" Scenario B "It was open, I was closing it" "I am calling the police" Really? As a guard myself, I know which scenario would suit me.

    Door controls left open

    If you notify the conductor they would likely be grateful for the heads up and a little embarassed ha. I cant see any harm in closing the flap if it was open (front unit for example) if the guard was not around.

    Walrus - Saveaways

    (Northern guard) We were originally advised they were only valid with the receipt as we previously had no other way of authenticating them. We have now however been given an app on our company phones which can apparently read the card, but I have not had an oppurtunity to hse this though...

    KJ Rail van motorway incident

    Its a company of 'questionable' characters anyway so this doesn't surprise me. One flew past me in Wigan a few weeks ago doing about 50 in a 30 with music blaring.

    Why do you use the train?

    I'm a train guard so use it most days. But I also use it for leisure sometimes, mainly if going into the city (Manchester) or travelling further afield (London) occasionally. Saves on parking, stress, fuel and of course as staff it's free, mostly, so try to make use of that benefit where I can!

    The way some passengers who have made mistakes are treated

    Isn't it funny how everyone who doesn't have a ticket ALWAYS has some reason. Not like they wanted to try and dodge their £4 fare.

    Passengers seem to think Manchester services have already lost conductors

    Not at Northern, certainly not at my depot. I understand TPE however have more pressures placed on them.

    Northern staff travel card

    Yes, NT staff can travel free on GC. Only one we can't is the 19.something from KGX to Sunderland on a Friday I believe.
