New Timetable looks pretty good for Northallerton. More services. Extra Grand Central to from London. Additional TP services, finally plugging the gap Northbound at 0630 and 0930.
Looks like only a couple of services make it to Salturn.
Hi. Still around in railway ticket offices. I was made redundant at Eaglescliffe but the office is still open. I’m very lucky in that a job came up at Northallerton and I was successful. So I’m now to be found at Northallerton and sometimes at Middlesbrough booking office.
5/6 February & 12/13 February no trains at all at Northallerton. Possible work on the subway and lifts so no access to platforms.
LNER, GC along with the Redcar TPE services will divert round the 'back' at Northallerton and off via Durham Coast.
Overcrowded trains on the Durham Coast on weekends has been going on for over 20 years now. It doesn't matter what weekend it is most morning to early afternoon trains are severely & dangerously overcrowded. I remember a couple of years ago management turning up at Hartlepool on a December...
Evening. I will take some photos when I'm on duty at Northallerton tomorrow. There was a planned lifting of the steel framework over the tracks on to Platform 2 over night last night.
The lift shaft outer framework along with the stairs and walk way from the lifts to platform 1 are all in place...
Haven't heard a peep out of Northern that there is no trains throughout Teesside next weekend. Good job no football at Sunderland or Middlesbrough! The TP version only says no trains on Sunday 5th September, what about the Saturday guys?
Thirsk Races on Saturday 4th is probably the one that is...
Having written out Northallerton's proposed services in terms of trains planned to call it is only 1 less a day. For passengers I don't think they will care who is running the train to Newcastle and York as long as its reliable, clean, some where to sit and affordable.
Not looking forward to 2...
Passing through Darlington on Friday afternoon with the sun out and restrictions relaxing nationally, I was awaiting connection to Allens West and witnessed at least a dozen people walk up to TVM purchase a Newcastle return on simply board an LNER service to Newcastle without reservations. If...
Totally agree with comment that I am seeing most LNER services 'sold out' now every day currently. Making life a little difficult with customers turning up expecting to simply buy a ticket for next LNER service from here in Northallerton. Having to have some awkward conversations about why I...
Good old new reservation system that is being introduced nationally hasn't worked very well on sleeper trains. I'm sure I seen on the website that if you need to book a berth then to give them a ring on a number. It was on the night riveria page on the GWR website. I got a call from the GWR...
I'm a big believer of that's why all the vegetation and what not has been cleared behind the riverside, to house an Azuma that needs to clear the platform for a short period.
Aye the plans for the extra platform is a full length one at the back of platform 2. So LNER services could be in...
Think I read the additional platform would be part of phase 3 works with no mention of when or if this is still going ahead. I know its planned and is much needed to boost capacity at the station. Still love the comments of the disgrace that Middlesbrough doesn't have a link to London. Go 10...
The issue becomes 'interesting' in June when Kings Cross is shut again and passengers needing to travel to and from London to and from Leeds and Newcastle will not be permitted via Sheffield on these trial fares. This is what a few passengers are doing this weekend. Suppose they will still have...
No current passenger trains run on the Stillington branch. I live behind Norton West Signal box at the start of the Stillington branch and hear a maximum of 2 trains a day. Very lightly used piece of track.
Similar to the thread about Arriva Northern's applications for December 2019. Transpennine have also submitted some applications. Middlesbrough to Manchester Airport services would be replaced by Redcar to Manchester Airport. Also timings for the proposed Liverpool/Manchester to Edinburgh...
