Times Malta report on 23rd April

See; https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/manchester-piccadilly-20260416/ Information from National Rail website, EMR and train departure boards at Dore & Totley station where potential users are wanting to know how they get to Manchester and the airport now and if someone will...

There are many examples of overcrowded trains recorded on services provided by multiple operators in the many threads on this forum. Sometimes the overcrowding is such that all cannot even get aboard so some have to wait for a later train. This may be only a few minutes but on some routes it may...

Northern are clearly having major fleet issues at present with new replacements not due into service for another 5 years. Unfortunately the most recent new trains seem to lack reliability so older units are having to be reverse cascaded back to routes they left when the 195s were new. We're in...

mods note - new thread split from this: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/thoughts-on-the-trump-presidency.280458/ Ax bit naive of the Iranian vessel to set out for home across the Indian Ocean knowing US vessels weren't far away. Might have fared slightly better keeping to Indian and...

I was at Dore & Totley station this afternoon when I spotted a bewildered gentleman who'd just alighted from a Northern train from Manchester. He was looking for his next train to Nottingham and couldn't find it. His ticket is below, read on. Those who know the line will wonder how the...

While looking at Hope Valley services on Sunday I came across two TPE phantom trains running from Piccadilly to Chinley Signal CY 159 and back. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:CHNL159/2026-02-08/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt They were both on for last Sunday 1st...

Item on Teesside Live - local comments suggest the idea is barmy...

We come across many examples of fare dodging, but this traveller clearly has no intention of ever paying. Railway staff are very well aware of that and have stopped him many times. "An arrest warrant against Brohiri for more than £30,015 in unpaid court fines was issued in February." Yet he...

It's probably about time to draw this thread to a close. Users of services between Sheffield and Manchester are not receiving the 3rd fast hourly service the scheme was supposed to deliver. A possible 4th hourly service by extending the New Mills stopper is unlikely to appear any time soon...

Network Rail are closing the route between Sheffield and Leeds via Barnsley for 2 weeks from Saturday 15th February to Sunday 2nd March tom investigate subsidence, possibly due to old mine workings...

In recent months Northern have been cancelling many services across the North, very many of them on hourly services. I came across two travellers this morning who'd purchased tickets for services that had been cancelled, next train an hour later. Both arrived over 15 minutes before their train...

I don't see a thread for this so here's the link to the dedicated websire to find out more; https://railway200.co.uk/ Apparently there's to be a special 4 carriage exhibition train that's to be moved around the country visiting many stations. There's nothing I can find to tell more on the unit...

Carrying the story forward from the Hope Valley Capacity Scheme thread. That had it's roots in antiquity, to the time when electrified passenger services ceased on 5th January 1970 between Manchester and Sheffield Victoria over Woodhead. That left the Hope Valley route to cope alone, by then...

Seems to be something badly wrong today. 3 successive hourly services cancelled on Hope Valley route between Manchester and Sheffield. Another cancelled later tonight already. Unhappy intending users stranded, at Edale presumably passing the time in the Rambler! Issues with train crew...

Tbis has been referred to indirectly in several recent threads but needs a thread of ts own. I've had several bad experiences myself and heard of many others. This Sunday my grandson caught a train from Sheffield to Newcastle. He stood the entire way hearing complaints from all sides in the...

Apologies if this has a thread elsewhere. Appeared on BBC's North Yorkshire website news page, presumably on air in that region; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-68446810

My phone news feed has thrown up a story from the John O'Groats Journal and Caithness Courier. Network Rail set to make urgent seawall repairs on Far North Line as major disruption to services continues between Inverness and Wick See...
