Mate at station and says its cancelled. Nothing showing on National Rail Enquiries, not even a train at that time. Anyone know what's going on? And he has to get to Wick, do Scotrail have to get him there? Told him to ring them up but he's a bit confused about what to do now.

Originating in Huddersfield, showing as just "delayed" at every station on National Rail Enquiries and the board at Barnsley is showing next train at 2112. Anyone know what's going on?

Been reading on Sheffield Forum that trains between Sheffield and Rotherham were disrupted yesterday morning due to a planned protest from OAPs who boarded a train and then refused to pay, requiring BTP to intervene. Any Northern staff floating around on here who have had aggro over this, or...

Trying to get from Leicester to Sheffield today and notice that the 1212 (?) departure hasn't yet reached Luton and doesn't have a ETA yet. Can I go via Birmingham on my ticket or is that not a Permitted Route?

My lodger is going to London on Wednesday lunch (from Sheffield), returning Friday lunch, and the travel is being paid for by his work. The tickets he has found are on the 1429 departure on the 19th March which costs £26, and returns home on the 1158 departure on the 21st March which costs...

Trying to do the above journey through the East Midlands Trains website, leaving at around 10am on the 29th and coming back just after lunchtime on the 30th, but doesnt seem to be any cheap fares and the cheapest ticket is the normal £26.20 Off Peak return. Have all the cheap advance fares...

Sat in the window of the gym at Millhouses (just north of Dore & Totley station in Sheffield) having a rest and just seen a Cross Country HST set heading southbound. Thought they didn't use them on a Sunday?

I want to buy a ticket for someone to get from Manchester Picc to Sheffield tomorrow, returning Wednesday. Neither East Midlands or TPE offer an "e-ticket" option so how can I buy this person a ticket the easiest way?

Someone on another forum: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=879737 is claiming that she can buy a ticket on the train for this journey for £8/£9 each way, actually on the train. Now, ignoring the fact that she should be buying a ticket at the station rather than the train, is...
