I submitted my delay repay claim as part of my claim for my taxi fare. I have challenged Northern's decison on the gounds of a breach of NRCoT condition 28.2. There was no rail service that I could use from Morecambe to Lancaster, and no replacemnt bus service was available. My delay repay...

Thank you. I will do that.

On 27th May 2026 I was delayed on a journey from Morecambe to Stoke-on-Trent. I was using a Northern 55 West Day Ranger. Starting at 1639 trains were cancelled between Morecambe and Lancaster, these were the 1639, 1700, 1732 and 1821. I rang customer services and asked for assstance and was...

I definately travelled on 2 class 195s advertised as calling at all stations from Deansgate to Mnchester Airport. I just missed the train from Barrow which was 2 class 195s. Another pair of class 195s was the next Northern train to call at Deansgate. 1743869502 I definately travelled on 2 class...

Please can anyone tell me what worked 2A10 1600 Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Airport on 2nd April 2025. I was on it between Deansgate (departed 1656) and Manchester Piccadilly. It was formed of 2x195. Real Train times says it was 331110. Thanks.

Northern is definately getting worse. Each time I use Northern trains I expect a cancellation. I put in a claim for a delay caused by a cancelled train two months ago. They refused my claim insisting that the train ran on time. On 30th October I was delayed on a journey from York to Sheffield...

Thank you, and I apologise for not starting a new thread, I forgot all about it.

What class 91 was on the rear of the 1319 from Doncaster to Kings Cross on 1st November? RealTime trains does not show any locomotive for this train.

Thank you so much for your reply.

Thanks MARK and 55002

Yesterday between 0945 and 1030 at Didcot Parkway I saw 66150 heading south and 66776 heading north. Does anyone know what they were working please?

On tuesday 2nd January I travelled on 1A62 1448 Holyhead to Euston which I boarded at Chester. This train could not run through to Crewe because the line was flooded. It eventually returned to Chester. I assume that the train was turned back at Beeston Castle signal box, but I am not sure how...

I remember hearing announcements at Crewe that tickets to Liverpool were not valid on the Northern service from Crewe to Liverpool via Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly. Of course they were but would the public want to spend 180 minutes or more on a slow train when the mainline trains...

Around 30 years ago I was on a HST travelling from Derby to Luton. After Leicester the guard came through my coach with a couple. I was sitting at a bay of four with a table. The guard rudely told me to move so that two people could sit there. When asked why he said these passengers had reserved...
