    Poor service on the Southport-Manchester line

    There's a lot of custom on this branch line. As a matter of fact the MD lives alongside it. So it really is of interest to Northern

    Poor service on the Southport-Manchester line

    As I sit here at Meols Cop and see there's another cancellation on this line. I was wondering if ever a day goes by when there isn't a cancellation on this route. Or is it, in my opinion, the route with the most dreadful service in the NW? It's quite abysmal at times

    Crowd Management at Liverpool Lime Street after Parade

    Anyone think Network Rail are fit for purpose after this debacle? After all this is an organisation that struggles to give a passenger wheelchair assistance never mind manage an event of this size.

    No that's true. But you can take more than 3 passengers. And there are lots of other examples given previously where trains have been empty leaving Lime Street

    Lumo - QUALIFIED Customer Train Driver/Instructor - Euston/Preston/Stirling - (25/03/25)

    As others have posted. This is an ideal job for a trainee to get their driving ticket. For myself to give up the security of a DB pension for a DC pension is too much of a sacrifice.

    Northern - Trainee Train Driver - Wigan Wallgate (25/02/25)

    Ask anyone who's been through the Northern process. Labyrinthine

    Reduction in minimum age for train drivers.

    I've had rail staff and off the streets and not noticed any difference regarding attitude.
