Hopefully the horses and humans make a speedy and full recovery, but I've been randomly thinking about how insurance may work for the damaged vehicles as a result...probably not every day an insurance company deals with 'yeah so a horse sort of galloped into my car'

Seems like a bit of a ‘niche’ choice of food for the passing train passenger trade, especially next to McDonalds

Aziz Tayub has seemingly now retired from running Poundstretcher and flogged the business to Fortress (a US investment firm), new operations team seems to consist of a few ex Morrisons management staff Will be interesting to see if they can make a go of actually sorting the business out and...

Yvette Cooper has been piping up recently moaning the works are taking too long and 'letting the North down' :D Although from what I've seen the replacement buses have been running like clockwork and I was particularly impressed with one operator who seems to have managed to convert the...

It just doesn't seem to actually be of much use to someone who may not know the Harrogate area too well The list below provided to the Subscription...err Stray Ferret is perhaps more logical and could have been included in the image Services 1 and 7: From Harrogate to Leeds: The Odeon...

It seems Harrogate bus station is having the infrastructure put in place for the electric fleet so will be closed daily after 7pm Sunday - Thursday evenings from 21/04 - 23/05 Transdev have also knocked together a pretty poor 'map' of the alternative stops!

Bonus generic announcement now “Thank you for travelling with Northern today we hope you have a pleasant onward journey!” It’s a male voice but certainly not Yorkshire Peter!

There seemed to be more 158 than usual running on the Harrogate line today for some reason although 170 were running too Is there some sort of plan to swap out the 170 for the 195 on the Harrogate line?

I noticed this morning they can’t even proof read a poster promoting the new app without mucking it up :D

Last time I visited Scarborough the one TVM was out of order full stop and the ticket office only was staffed by a single staff member, this was in the middle of 'peak season' If you also wanted to be pendantic just refer to the following page on the Northern website which mentions penalty...

Apparently a Spoons is heading to Waterloo station as part of The Sidings this summer, Tim Martin has also mentioned he is keen to expand the city station estate in general From my neck of the woods some 'odd' closure choices recently though, Sir Norman Rae in Shipley and The White Hart in...

Northern seem to have found some 158s to run the Castleford - Leeds 'shuttle' which is a rather large improvement over the usual 150s! Can / has a 158 ever been used for a run to Goole? (via Knottingley)

It doesn't even seem to use native Apple Pay, rather make a dummy transaction using Apple Pay to then register your card in the app Also another minor curiousity is the payment shows as Transdev Kent on my bank statement!

Disruption now expected until Monday 6 May...

Used the new app to buy a ticket today…what an absolute pain in the rear end that was! Uploaded a photo of the bus station wall just to get past that step then wanted to use Apple Pay which I (eventually found) hidden away in user settings Purchased a ticket which then took several minutes to...

My biggest issue isn’t the keyboard layout but the fact most screens seem rather unresponsive to the touch in the first place!

I had a KFC and Burger King the past couple of days (I was staying at a hotel so wanted something quick and easy!) Both venues charged about £12 for a pretty standard chicken / burger meal McDonalds have gone up too but I could still probably get 2 Big Mac meals for that price

Interesting, thanks :) I seem to remember several years ago it actually skipped calls at Headingley and Burley Park but these days it does call at all the stations between Harrogate and Leeds

Hopefully the next update also removes the rather bizarre requirement of having to upload a photograph just to buy a standard bus ticket...

I'm curious about the 18:06 service that starts at Harrogate, goes to Leeds then back out to form a Sheffield via Rotherham service https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W31570/2024-03-25/detailed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W32936/2024-03-25/detailed Generally...
