    The New Manchester Airport Terminal 2

    Just wondered what peoples thoughts were about it. I used it myself on Saturday afternoon for a 4pm flight and to say I was underwhelmed was an understatement. The new bit has essentially been bolted next to the old bit so the new check in area is next to the old one, and of course barely any...

    Just been speaking to my cousin on Facebook. He has just bought a 7 day season from Castleton to Ashton from the ticket office at Manchester Victoria (he had a ticket from Castleton to Man Vic anyway, dunno why but he wasnt travelling without a valid ticket) and is claiming he has been...

    Lincoln-Sheffield routing

    Replacement buses are in operation this Sunday and someone I know holds a bog standard Sheffield-Lincoln Open return and wants to try and avoid buses on his way back from Lincoln to Sheffield. Is this ticket valid to go Lincoln-Newark NG-Doncaster-Sheffield? If not, any ideas on how much the...

    Leeds-Sheffield disruption 4/8/2016

    NRE saying that there is an "issue" at Fitzwilliam causing delays up to 60 minutes. Looks like the 1511 Cross Country departure from Leeds was cancelled and just ran from York to Sheffield direct instead but the 1611 didnt and that is showing as arriving into Wakefield in a few minutes Anyone...

    Profile of customers and the Revenue Protection Officers

    On the back of this thread, it got me thinking: do RPO's target the (percieved) more vulnerable customers using the rail network (such as females, the elderly?). Anyone encountered any evidence of this? In the example linked above, if the OP was a six foot nine rugby player, would it have...

    My suggestion for EMT HST sets from Leeds-St Pancras to go via, and call at, Barnsley

    Mentioned this in another thread but felt it worthy of its own. Early morning two HST EMT sets leave Leeds and travel to London St Pancras, the first one calling at Wakefield Westgate, Doncaster, Sheffield, and then usual MML stations to London St P. The second one does the same but goes...

    Train deailment at Moorthorpe (6/7/2015)

    Noticed this was on the NRE website before 5.30am so before any passenger service hit the area - anyone know what service (freight?) it was? Northern local stopping services terminating at Wakefield Westgate with a bus to Swinton XC services diverted (presumably via Doncaster without stopping)...

    1V64 Edinburgh- Plymouth badly delayed (30/6/2015)

    1611 from Leeds delayed at platform due to "safety checks". Leaves platform only a few mins before the 1640 departure and has now just left Wakefield a full hour down delaying everything behind it. Partner is sat on the 1640 doing his nut in, especially given he could have got the 1640...

    No Bradford FS - Leeds service at evenings

    During the day, Bradford Forster Square enjoys a twice hourly service to Leeds (calling at Frizinghall, Shipley and Leeds) However it seems the last one leaves Bradford at 1930 and this gets replaced thereafter by an hourly Bradford-Shipley shuttle, calling at Frizinghall in between. Given...

    Keighley Bus driver holds passengers hostage (9/6/2015)

    Friend of mine trying to get into work this morning, catches the 662 which subsequently breaks down. Driver calls for a replacement bus and common sense would dictate that he lets the passengers off to catch the next available bus. Oh no. Because the bus was TWENTY FEET away from the next...

    Trains leaving early

    Was on the 1411 Blackpool North to York service yesterday and the train got into Burnley Manc Road at about 1510, two minutes before it was due to depart at 1512 according to the timetable. However it didnt hang around long, the doors closed and we were setting off as the clock on the platform...

    Bradford to Blackpool, 25th April

    Because the route is priced by Northern I'm guessing there are no Advance fares on the route so I'm wondering if I can split it to save a bit on the £25.40 Anytime return? Want to travel around 11am on the Saturday 25th April and come back a similar time the day after, no railcards and I...

    Possibly a silly question...

    ...but I'll ask it anyway. Am I able to travel from Bradford Interchange to Sheffield, and then Sheffield to Shipley two days later on an open return ticket? I assume the tickets from Bradford as sold as BRADFORD STNS in the same way they are in Manchester? And nothing stopping me stopping...
