    Northern franchise awarded to Arriva.

    Talk of 6-cars on the Airedale and Ilkley lines - but will they fit at half the stations?

    Breweries by Rail

    There's also Saltaire Brewery five minutes walk from Shipley station.

    Chiltern failure to tell passengers which platform.

    As it's automatic, are you sure they got it?

    Sunday XC diversions

    Ah, that's interesting. Hopefully something may come from it!

    Sunday XC diversions

    I was on this a few weeks ago. Is there any technical reason why it couldn't stop at Kirkgate instead? Or is it simpler to bus from Leeds?

    Except Cross Country?

    Train information now in real time for journey planners

    My phone can read my oyster card I think (although it's encrypted so can't get anything off it). May have made that up but it can do it with my passport too. So it's technically possible depending on what smartcards are in use.

    Changing the local door

    If that is the rule I haven't seen it enforced on the Airedale line.

    Successful prosecution stories

    Interesting in the OP that all three cases Northern chose to tell the public (I presume, not having heard of Your Nothern) about involved someone being abusive and not just a dodgy ticket or whatnot!

    All Scottish level crossing to be barriered

    Fare Evader stopped dead

    If he was unarmed I honestly have no idea how those coppers can sleep at night!

    Rights if no room for cycle on unreservable train

    If you go via Shipley I'd say you'd easily have room for it. Even if the cycle spaces are full you can just leave it against a right-hand-side door.

    Confusing oyster refund

    Thanks. That sounds like it might be something. I don't really understand why though. Even if it'd been open I wouldn't have used it! @ian13, I'll just retry it before I next go then. I'm not really that bothered about the £1.75. I was more curious as to why I was being given it in the...

    Confusing oyster refund

    Thanks for the replies :) Well, I do have a friend in Hammersmith (that's why I was there) but I think posting it would cost more than half the refund! They emailed to tell me it [the refund] had failed and that I can request it again so I'll just wait till next I'm down there before doing...

    Confusing oyster refund

    Hello there, I recently took a trip to London and made a few journeys on an oyster loaded with my railcard. A few days after I got back I have an email saying I have a refund of £1.75 waiting for me at Hammersmith (useful living in Yorkshire - it'll never expire will it?). I can't, for the...
