There was a tree down at Parbold apparently

Just seen on northern's twitter: said to have changes on Leeds - Harrogate plus Leeds / Bradford to Ilkley / Skipton as well as the longer distance services in the title. Wonder what is causing this? Crew shortages? Timetables are changing on five routes out of #Leeds on 17th February, trains...

The insides of the coaches are marked up with coach letter indications suggesting they may run as 10 car, eg accessible toilets are in coaches X and Y (sorry didn't notice which specific coaches but definitely not both between A and E)

Ps would be nice to know the real reasons.. and if problems getting 802s to Doncaster for maintenance why not hire Rail Operations Group or similar to drag them?

Wonder if staff have got the alleged deal Northern staff have of x days leave for x days training, and lots of those days booked over Xmas? If so that feels like a management and union failure.

Lol perhaps the dft people would like to experience crush standing most days...

Capacity desperately needed, as well as alleviating Manchester Airport - Picc - Deansgate congestion (written standing on a 350 now. When it's a 185 it's even worse) these 397s can't come soon enough

The Northern 195s are struggling a bit with door issues and brake issues it seems - so these are not without hiccups too. One seems to have been stuck at Piccadilly or Oxford Road this morning for 30-40mins...

Thank you, much appreciated!

Thank you both! Just find it amazing that the timetable can't be confirmed with just over a week to go..

Journey planners are showing service changes for the services from Manchester to Carnforth and Barrow from 1 July. Northern haven't yet been able to confirm what these are. Does anyone know? Many thanks!

There's a 47 on sleepers here, looks to be heading south https://www.flickr.com/photos/kerryp28/6369927805/in/photostream

Is there one out for testing today, or is it a sprinter or 331/195 from Allerton? 5Z20 - http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/S05852/2019/03/12/advanced and return to Liverpool South Parkway 5Z21 - http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/S05854/2019/03/12/advanced timed as Sprinter one way and...

Thank you! Does it need depot / driver / guard attention to remedy that?

What is the Preinst abort? I had a 185 with thisshoqing earlier this week and the heating had failed too...

There's a TPE 68 (019 I think) on the same line at Crewe as most of the Pretendolino carriages, parked about a foot away - will these be used for haulage training?

Sleepers are diverted via Sunderland apparently (according to nationalrail.co.uk) - a scenic tour in the dark!

Apparently Northern Rail are repairing the stairs and collapsing platform, they've tweeted the poster on Twitter.

Catering is provided by the Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company. Improved catering on trains is great (and appreciated when good service is provided) but can be difficult to get adequate returns.

I totally agree! If only there was such commonsense in the industry!
