Nothing particularly new to add here, but yesterday was pretty dire - only have to commute via Northern semi-regularly, and feeling pretty sorry for anyone who relies on them. Looks like this isn't improving today. Left my flat in Salford at 8am and took me three hours to get to Lancaster for a...

Can confirm from this morning that this was no issue at all! Good way to get rid of the RTVs in my case.
