    Northern Delay Repay taking a while

    Hi all, Does anyone know if there if delay repay claims are taking a long time to process at Northern Rail? I've had one that been sat a couple of weeks. I know it says '20 working days' but I've generally found it to be fairly quick. I had a season ticket the last few years so I used the...

    New trains vs further developing existing designs

    I was thinking how, in aviation for example, designs such as the Boeing 737 are developed and improved over time, whereas rolling stock is mostly redesigned when new trains are ordered. Would it result in a better product if existing rolling stock were further refined to improve shortfalls in...

    Netflix movie 'Bullet Train Explosion'

    The above movie was released on Netflix today. Currently watching it. It's a half-decent 'disaster' style movie and a remake of the 1975 movie 'The Bullet Train'. Thought I'd give you all a heads up as it may be of interest to some.

    Seat/Window alignment solution

I'm not sure how well they'd cope with motion blur at high speed...

    Barnsley to Pontefract Tanshelf via Leeds

    I wonder if anyone can confirm whether it is a valid route to travel via Leeds on a Peak Anytime return from BNY to POT but change at Leeds. I normally change at Wakefield Kirkgate or Castleford and Pontefract Monkhill. I need to pop to Leeds on Friday so wondered if this is permitted. I've...

    Travelling after losing wallet

    I was wondering, as the other day I left my wallet on the counter in the railway ticket office (fortunately they managed to track me down to tell me!). If I had lost it, is there a process where you can travel and agree to pay, say, within 24 hours? Just wondered as I very nearly boarded the...

    I wish to travel from Barnsley to Pontefract Tanshelf next week via train. I have expenses to allow me to purchase a SY Connect+ (Travelmaster Gold), which will cover me for the bus to the station and Barnsley to Darton. I need a Metro Weekly Pass Zone 2 to 5 for the West Yorkshire leg (Darton...
