    Think there is space on the York bound platform where it looks like the original ticket office was. Its got a painting on the wall last time I was there of a ticket office.

    Ticket Office Resource Allocation Inequalities

    Just going back to the point about Knaresborough, surely it's a great opportunity for a 3rd party to come in and open a ticket office. Surely more than enough passengers to make it viable.

    Northern to introduce evening peak restrictions

    My only worries about the new restrictions is telling thousands of cricket fans at Headingley there ticket is invalid when the match finishes early and they all try to get back into Leeds between the restricted times.

    What's happening at Thirsk?

    I love the statement that comes out about "unsually large passenger flow". Northern & TPE seem suprised when events are happening in the North East and more people are using the train than normal! See how they cope today. Feel sorry for anybody trying to travel on the York services from...

    Darlington & Tees Valley Line

    They are planning on knocking the old brick building down and removing the shelters to make way for the new waiting room. Its going to be half indoor and heated, most likely only open when the ticket office is open. The 2nd half of the shelter will be covered but still exposed to the elements...

    Darlington & Tees Valley Line

    No worries ainsworth74. Sorry it seemed like rant its just there has been a few bits and pieces in the local media jumping on the "east coast services to Middlesbrough" bandwagon lately. With people moaning that Teesside has no direct train to London, no mention of the services Grand Central...

    Darlington & Tees Valley Line

    A hell of a lot of passengers use Grand Central. So what if its 10-15 minutes slower than changing at Darlington using East Coast on some occasions. Some Grand central services run between Eaglescliffe and London in less time than a stopping service from Darlignton. Its a lot cheaper if you turn...

    Trivia: Busiest station for places with a service frequency of less than hourly.

    Chester-Le-Street. Crying out for hourly service. Hartlepool as well, needs more than hourly service to Newcastle, use to be every 30mins few years ago, but the powers that be soon knocked that on the head.

    Station usage 2012/13

    Like I posted before, the only reason it appears that South Bank has lots of passengers is because of the South Bank-Newcastle open return. It is sold in vast amounts at Eaglescliffe, Thornaby, Middlesbrough.
