    TOPS Requests (including headcodes, allocations, traction, etc) [Instructions in Post 2]

    Thanks - it’s just that I don’t see them in Sheffield anymore since we got the ex Grand Central HSTs. I presume they must work out of Nottingham or Bedford or something

    Arriva Rail North DOO

    Ok thanks. I think I just find it utterly incomprehensible that I would not be able to speak to a staff member about any concerns I might have, although I appreciate that this situation may currently exist on parts of the network (London Underground maybe)

    Arriva Rail North DOO

    I may be a lay person here but if a train is DOO and someone is sitting in my seat and refuses to move, who do I report it to ? What happens if I am attacked ? Do I have to pull the emergency stop ? Who checks the tickets ? Who ensured that I’ve got my wheelchair bound mother in the train ? Etc etc

    Why is there now an obsession with re-nationalisation?

    The most convincing argument I have heard against re-nationalisation is that once again the railways would be competing for public funds against education, nhs, welfare, defence etc. The railways would always come bottom as a low priority

    Derailment causing disruption at Sheffield 09-10-2018

    It was a double header which suggests heavily used. I suspect a Commuter Leeds bound service, maybe the Regular 18 minutes or 45 minutes past the hour

    Derailment causing disruption at Sheffield 09-10-2018

    Oh, just an afterthought, I’ve watched Sheffield station for a long time but never seen Northern 142 030 or 142 039 - anyone any idea where they operate ??
