    Powers Of Railway Security?

    What actual rights do they have with regards a full train and grabbing passengers from the vestibule and forcing them off said full train and telling them that it is full and they must now wait for the next one (hourly service on the North Wales line) or wait for TFW to procure coaches for those...

    Could we see a "Head Out to Help Out" scheme?

    It's been mentioned on BBC News 24 this morning that the government could follow their successful ”Eat Out To Help Out” scheme with a travel-based one under the ”Head Out To Help Out” branding. Nothing officially confirmed but 50% off off peak train fares was discussed. I hope this happens...

    M-Ticket activated but not used.

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice after an uncomfortable experience at the barriers at Forster Square station yesterday evening in which I was accused of abusing my ticket. I was travelling from Shipley to Bradford at around 12:30 and bought an off-peak day return £2.80 e ticket from the...

    Station Announcements

    I've moved property recently where my back garden now runs out onto the train station. It's only in the early mornings and late evenings that it's become noticeable that the station announcements are ridiculously loud. Is there anything I can do to try and get Northern to turn them down? Could...

    Class 142 Destination Blind

    Does anyone know why this was never positioned in the centre and was slightly to the side?

    Potential reopening of the Wortley Curve

    Heard this on the radio earlier this afternoon and would mean direct services from Bradford to Sheffield and Nottingham without the need to change or reverse at Leeds. I’m sure the economic impact would benefit both Bradford and Sheffield in the long run...

    East Coast Disruption Between Leeds and Doncaster

    The 12:15 Leeds to Kings Cross has a pantograph problem and is blocking the lines south of Wakefield. No ETA from the conductor of the 12:45 to the Cross on how long this delay will last. I wonder if these pantograph issues are all related? I've been on two Azuma and a 331 this week that...

    Hull Platform One

    Is Hull Paragon platform one ever used these days? I know it’s quite short but it should be able to handle a four car service?

    Wires Down At Hest Bank

    Does anyone know how long they'll be down? I've got to be in Lancaster for a very important business meeting at 13:30.

    "Anyone Else Needing Tickets?"

    Is it any wonder Northern are struggling financially when I see blatant fare dodging on the Aire Valley lines due to the conductors inability to check everyone’s ticket. Why do they repeatedly just walk down the train asking the “does anyone need tickets” line, when I see people board at...

    Strange occurrence: free travel on Calder Valley route due to severe delays (19/12)

    I don’t know if this warrants a thread but earlier tonight I was on a train that had to make additional stops because the previous train was cancelled (hourly) and some of the people boarding the train had been waiting in excess of 90 minutes. The Northern conductor clearly at the end of his...

    Fire between Doncaster and Wakefield (15/12)

    How bad is the fire at Doncaster? I'm currently on the last Northbound HST and we've been told to expect lengthy delays.

    Northern and Fare Evasion

    I was travelling on a 142+150 on Northern the other day and decided to take the 150 over the 142 due to comfort. What became apparent on leaving Leeds and calling at stations was that a lot of people were getting on the 142 which was leading with very few on the 150. I spoke to the conductor...
