    Northern Class 195: Construction/Introduction Updates

    In all fairness the Lincoln bound crew seem to have a grasp of it.

    Northern Station Improvements & New Ticket Machines

    My local station (Kiveton Bridge) has finally had a ticket machine installed. Unfortunately when it's sunny in the morning you can't see the actual screen due to the sunlight and when you tap on popular destinations nothing is shown.

    Seeing as there's no mention of services from Leeds to Lincoln is it safe to assume the extra services between Retford/Worksop and Sheffield are off?
