    Hull to halifax service to be split at leeds

    Is this definite? I don't agree with it for two reasons: If TPE has no competition fares will rise. Hull will have no direct link to Leeds with Northern, I long remember ankle freezing connections at Church Fenton when using the Northern rangers. Is there a chance of two trains an hour Hull to...

    Doncaster Station Plan

    That map seems to omit the bridge from platform 1 to platform 0, unless they've suddenly whipped up a direct connection from the entrance.

    Rough night in the hope valley 12/10/25

    Returning from an arduous walk on Kinder Scout on a Northern only Day ranger, just missed 16.33 to Sheffield, to find 17.33 cancelled. Oh, well to the pub and wait for the next train. Which suddenly changes to Grindleford, as does the next train. Finally get the hour delayed train to Grindleford...

    Competency requirements for MPs?

    Add to the disqualification list: Anyone who has been privately educated. Let's make that disqualification for the Civil service as well. Plus anything public funded. Reason: good at avoiding blame and little else. Drink may have been taken.

    Has the Northern £10 ticket offer started anywhere? I can't see any tokens in the Hull Daily Mail and no mention of it on the main Northern website.

    Northerneers Survey Group

    I've started it and aborted a few questions in! It started with questions about how you rate the five senses, then seemed to be checking your reaction time and scolding you for being too slow. I'm not applying to be a driver so I left. This may link to the start. Northerneer Questionnaire

    Northern Delay Repay delays

    My last two claims from November, sent a fortnight apart from the same post box, have both disappeared. Next time will be online, or at least copy them first.

    I've not found anything worthwhile from Hull, but already filled up from the Northern and TPE sales. The best I could find was a £6 single Hull to Newcastle, and I'd use a complimentary Northern to get back on the scenic route. A trip down south would have been nice.

    Pleasant Delay Repay experience

    My claims are with Northern and TPE and generally ok, but I measure them in months, not weeks! The worst one was when I received a letter promising two return tickets but enclosing just one single!
