Hi I'm looking at the availability of the overnight return (NVR) between Northallerton and Thirsk. The ticket is routed any permitted. However there's some odd behaviour by apps. In the tpe app if I select a grand Central service combined with a tpe service it suggests buying a more expensive...

Just on the 9m20 Newcastle to Manchester. The guard has apologised for the train being extremely busy (it always is on a Saturday). However he's saying the trainline have in many cases double booked people in the same seats and apologised to anyone who has someone sat in the same seat. I've...

A couple of years ago I bought this record in a bookshop in Darlington. I have to say despite having almost no interest in steam I quite like it, the track 'in the signal box at Dent station' has a lot of dynamic range, in fact the recordings are of particulalry good quality given that they...

Just gone to buy a day return to Thirsk at Northallerton station. Been informed every ticket office operated by tpe and Northern is out of action. In addition the tvm is down. So been advised to buy on board. Are TVMs everywhere affected? The guy said it's a Fujitsu problem so any other TOCs...

Has anyone else noticed unit numbers are now displayed in Roman numerals on real time trains? Is this an April fools joke?

I'm increasingly finding life in Britain untenable and feel there is no future for me here. I know when I'm not wanted by my own country and have many enemies here. I am under no illusions as to this. But ever since my European citizenship was wrested from me to placate a bunch of racists...

this bus runs from Northallerton to Thirsk. There would not normally be a service from NTR to THI at this time, and indeed southbound calling at Thirsk appears unaffected by engineering works. Normally when works are taking place at Thirsk at this time and the last northbound service is...

Waiting for a bus in Northallerton, I noticed the Sunday 'Wensleydale Flyer' is financially supported by Transpennine Express. Are there any other PSV services, with or without through ticketing, which are supported in this manner? I'm talking the railways subsidising the service here ( or...

I've seen someone has been caught selling fake LNER first class tickets and received... a suspended sentence. Now I'm not normally someone who believes in filling up our gaols and am normally quite liberal on crime, taking a pragmatic 'what works' approach but given that he could have easily...

Hi I booked a ticket for grand Central from Northallerton to York tomorrow, for a return. However I've not been given a reservation. Are reservations still compulsory on Grand Central?

Following on from the SWR thread, there are some more changes happening in September. I've not had a proper look yet but LNER are hiking some unregulated fares from my home station, with Northallerton to Newcastle and Northallerton to York CDRs both going up. Anything else?

Hi, I'm trying to book a return from Northallerton to York, using TPE on the way out and LNER on the way back. Unfortunately if you select TPE service for the outbound there's no option to choose and 'any permitted' ticket and it just says the return fare is not valid for this service, it...

Seeing the Amex offer in the special offers thread, I've been looking into the Avanti app. However, their website says of e-tickets 'must be activated before travel'. Also the screenshot on the website makes them look like horrible m-tickets. At the same time however, it mentions e-mail. Any...

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm an occasional Windows user, though I mostly use Ubuntu on the desktop. Already learnt my laptop is not recommended for upgrade as TPM 2.0 is recommended however apparently the hard upgrade floor allows for 1.2, which is what it has. Also disappointed...

On the timetable consultations page I note that TPE are withdrawing calls at Northallerton for their Newcastle terminators, except for late at night. This raises a very valid point: What happens to all of the people who bought annual TPE only season tickets from Northallerton to Newcastle...

Hi, I've just gotten back from work in York on 1P87, I sort of see where the guard was coming from but never had this happen before and think it was a tad overzealous. He ordered everyone at York to get on the front unit, despite there only being about ten of us waiting on the platform where...

For some reason people have an emotional connection for having to drive/get public transport somewhere to buy something at an overinflated price. I grant there's situations such as the tactile experience of clothes shopping and supermarkets where bricks and mortar makes sense and some shops can...

Does anyone have any idea as to why TPE class 802s run on diesel on the ECML on Sundays? I don't think I've once been on one using the wires from Northallerton to York or back on a Sunday but during the week it's usually on electric. I know the OHL is rather limited on the ECML but if anything...

People are as a mass more educated than ever, so you'd expect the quality of public debate to be getting higher - In particular in politics and the media. The compulsory reservations thread got me thinking of this:. Increasingly fake news,populist demagogues, celebrity trash culture and...

Hi, I was planning a hypothetical journey (as you do!) and I notice if I type in Sherburn in Elmet or SIE into the NRE journey planner it comes up no stations found. Oddly it can be put as an origin, just not a via/avoid point. Anyone know any reason for this? I'd assume it'd take some doing...
