Now being officially reported that the new York-Malton-Scarborough Northern service has been postponed until next year. This will be a disappointment to regular users like me who can face service gaps of well over an hour when one train is cancelled and the following one is late. The traffic protestors in Malton will be cheering, however, as they are predicting carnage at the doubling of the level crossing closures in the town

Northern strike again. The TOC that keeps on giving (grief)

A good example of the current useless TPE service is today. The service gap between Malton and Scarborough was just short of 3 hours (06.48 and 09.45). This was down to a cancellation followed by a late running service. For people like me relying on the service to get to work in Scarborough, a peak period, 3 hour service gap is diabolical. No wonder so many of my colleagues have abandoned this joke of a service.
