TPE are to introduce 15 minute delay repay on the 2nd of February. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2020/01/delay-repay-15-to-be-launched-by-transpennine-express.html At least this makes my entitlement to compensation simpler as I use Northern and TPE on my journey and both will be 15 mins. However...

This morning I got a Class 319 from Manchester Victoria to Salford Crescent. I tried looking for the bicycle spaces but could only see the stickers for the wheelchair space so I asked Northern on twitter if there should be any. https://twitter.com/ajdunlop/status/1100326290861764608 Their reply...

Hello all, I have a season ticket to Salford Crescent from Huddersfield. I then make my own way from there to Salford Quays. However sometimes I can make a good connection to a train that stops at Trafford Park which is about the same distance from Salford Quays. The season ticket to both...

Yesterday and today there has been issues with the signals around the Diggle and Standedge tunnel area effecting the north transpenne route. I had on a train yesterday that was delayed and we were told that a number of signals were not lit up at all and so the driver was having to call the...

Hello all, I pass through the tunnels to the west of Huddersfield station nearly every day but I have a few questions about their history. It looks like there used to be entrances to both sides of the current entrances from the station. One of these looks to be from the siding that has an old...

An area of sidings track has been cleared and barriered off and various potacabins and pieces of machinery have been put in place. Do anyone know what's happening? It looks like some foundations are being dug or trenches to bury something.

I suspect I already know the answer to this question, but just in case... I have a season ticket from Huddersfield to Salford Crescent. I take a bike to complete my journey from there. As season tickets are valid to any pair of stations between the origin and destination I can go via Victoria...

Services this morning have been cancelled or severely delayed in both directions (more so towards Leeds) because of an uncoupled freight train. As far as I can work out it might be this train http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H60899/2016/04/06/advanced I have just gone past and it looks...

I am an annual Season Ticket holder for a First Transpennine Express route. As you will be aware First have won the new franchise from April next year. I believe this new franchise will operate under the Delay Repay scheme rather than the old Reliability and Punctuality target refund scheme. My...

After a dire last month of performance on the Transpennine North line FTPE have written off the 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 13th of November as Void Days and that doesn’t even include huge delays last week which I think will add at least 2 days. That would be 7 Void Days in one month and we are...

Firstly apologies if this has been discussed to death already, just point me to where. No that the electrification of the line between Stalybridge and Leeds has been "un-paused" what are the additional line improvements that lead to the pause and longer time frames? Have these been announced...

Sorry if I am repeating another topic... Does anyone know why there are lots of orange men around the sidings at Miles Platting (Manchester side of the junction on the south)?

I have a Huddersfield to Manchester STNS annual season ticket. I have two questions: 1. If were to change the destination to Salford Crescent would all the Manchester stations group still be included (I assume they would as they are all on routes valid between Hudds and Crescent and would also...

There a couple of concrete rectangles that have been laid beside the track in at least two places along this line. One is just after the second tunnel out of Huddersfield west bound and is next to the west bound track. The other is between Marsden and the Standedge tunnel again next to the...

Any train I have been on between countries that still have passport control elsewhere in Europe do passport checks while trains are moving. Passport officers get on at a station on one side of the broader checking passports as they go and then get off at the 1st station in the other country...

Have left it far too late to get advanced tickets for easter but can anyone find a good way to bring the cost down by splitting etc for the following: Travel is for 2 adults, sadly the only railcard is an Annual Gold card (so might apply to part of the journey). Basingstoke to Lancaster...

Hello all, I have a Rail & Sail ticket for travel from Basingstoke to Dublin which I bought through the Stenaline call centre (I would have used the official RailSail call centre but they appear to now be thetrainline!). Stena only appear to do bookings to stations in the Republic if going via...

In all the treads about the electrification announcements yesterday Bombardier's idea to add a pantograph coach to the voyagers to make them hybrid electric / diesel seems to have appeared again. Is this something that was mentioned in the infrastructure plan or just being talked about because...

I am sitting on a Voyager as I type this. It would appear that XC have finally consulted some humans on how their reservation screens should work. They have replaced the scrolling 'This seat is not reserved' with a static 'Available' and 'This seat is available until #' with 'Reserved from #'...

I wanted start a general thread on the current state of Rail and Sail. My first question is who actually runs Rail and Sail, is it a grouping of the TOCs who operate it and ferry operators or a separate entity? I get the impression some companies take it more seriously than others. Some of the...
