Is there a timetable for this? Ie which are being done first etc?

My assumption has always been that they would yes, and then use the new 800s and Mk5s for the fast services. However it is just an assumption, can anyone shed any light on it?

A while ago, TPE announced that they were taking over the local stopping services from Northern on the Leeds-Huddersfield-Manchester route as of the May 2018 timetable change. There was an article in the news today about it, so it got me thinking what the timetable would be like. Has TPE...

So are there going to be less express trains if some are stopping at more stations (in addition to the stopper replacement)?

Does anyone have any photos of the interiors? I've only had the luck of the refurbished 158752, and that wasn't too great.

The ones at Leeds already accept Smartcards, though they're currently being upgraded for barcode tickets. Is it just Halifax left now?

Maybe they've done this to stop people trying to use them when they're not working?

I've always thought it's quite a small area for the number of people exiting platform 16, same with platform 2/3.

Is this on their website? I'd be interested in which other Yorkshire ones they're doing.

I believe that Infotec (who make the screens) are retiring the orange LED screens in favour of the newer models (such as those pictured). This is implied by the 'Last time buy' page on Infotec's website http://www.infotec.co.uk/2016/Last-Time-Buy

On Saturday (28th Jan) I attempted, even though they had been installed on all the barriers, they still were only given a green flash! The attendant said they would be live 'soon'. There was a few people who were confused as to why they weren't working, perhaps they should be covered up or...

I noticed this yesterday, I had false hope of them working with my m-ticket. I was also wondering how they will signpost the ones that have been upgraded?

Is this a new addition? I haven't seen them before at Leeds, but have seen it at Kings Cross before.

Northern tweeted a few weeks ago that they're going to upgrade them "soon", so if they're not compatible is a new gateline coming? All seems very quiet and unorganised:|

Also in the Leeds area is the Leeds to York via Harrogate services. The stopper via Harrogate to York is advertised as 'Poppleton', as there a much quicker ways of reaching York from Leeds. This happens at York the other way round, as the displays show Burley Park, not Leeds.

Has the gateline received any sign of improvement to add QR scanners?

I think the scheme could really take off if they launched PAYG on trains, but this would require validators at every station and a way of checking them on-board trains.

Any news on the upgrade of the barriers at Leeds station?

Northern say that 'soon' they will work the barriers at Leeds, though they currently work the barriers at Huddersfield.

I was on a train to Leeds the other day and someone was asking the guard about how the 'new paper tickets' aren't accepted (the ones with only the barcode), and he said that the barriers were being upgraded. Has anyone else heard anything? Are they going to replace the whole line or just add...
