    LNER Azuma (Class 800/801)

    No surprise to see the new Azumas will be diesel only mode north of York due to poor lineside infrastructure. Once again further proof that this Tory government doesn’t give a monkeys about the North. It’s embarrassing that this wicked government have spent £2.7 billion on these Hitachi trains...

    Getting refunds for tickets

    All tickets posted back to northern this morning with a letter explaining why I would like a refund. Now going to Blackpool next Wednesday. How long will it take for Northern to refund me my tickets?

    Northern electric unit shortages

    I’m not turning this into a north vs south debate. I’m saying that the south has had unbelievable funding levels in comparison when compared to the north. You don’t see 40 year old pacers roaming around London do you?

    That awful screeching noise as it bounces on the curve into Carnforth .

    Northern electric unit shortages

    And then the next one 12 car one arrives in ten minutes. Whilst we’re all being left behind by a 40 year old train.

    Northern electric unit shortages

    Is it me or don’t the 333s need a refurb? I find them genuinely clean and tidy. Much rather a 333 than a 144 or 150 which have been under the wires recently.

    Getting refunds for tickets

    I appreciate it is an unusual travel journey but what you said is correct, we showed all railcards at Forster Square and after explaining what we were doing the lady served us our seven tickets, so it must be all legitimate. We stand to lose around £35 if we don't change them. Is it best to...

    Getting refunds for tickets

    The person serving us put it all through because although I’m going to be coming back with my brother on the day return who has a two together with me but my wife is going to be staying over for the week with friends, until I come pick up her up and meet her at the hotel a week on Wednesday...

    Getting refunds for tickets

    Sorry, mine was a day return and my wife’s an open return so yes, four tickets altogether. Tickets bought from Forster Square train station last week.

    Getting refunds for tickets

    So me and the wife bought two tickets, but two different types from Bradford to Blackpool North with our Two Together Railcard. We now can’t go on the day we bought the tickets for, but can go a few days later but Northern are refusing to refund or change the date of the tickets. I have no...

    Route knowledge at junctions: I tip my hat to the train drivers

    What will in-cab signalling do? Stop the need for signals along the tracks?

    Route knowledge at junctions: I tip my hat to the train drivers

    Just watched this I never knew a train driver had to understand so many different signals and all of them on the York-Hull-Leeds-Huddersfield-Manchester line.

    Leeds station improvement updates

    There was some good points in this article yesterday https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/train-passengers-forced-to-sprint-by-late-platform-calls-zsfpkj379 Although Leeds isn’t the main station to have this problem it’s a fair article on the frustrations we as passengers have.
