Over 5 train companies are changing their schedules today. This is the second major rail problem in the area this week after a landslip happened on Sunday.

"Thank you for your delay repay claim which we received on Sat, 13 Dec 2025.

A payment of £1.34 is now on its way to you via BACS. The payment should appear in your account within 5-10 working days."

It's the small wins, really.
Not sure why it's allowed that they can take 5-10 working days when my payment is taken immediately.
But, hey-ho.

I've just watched the 13:39 train leave because I didn't need it that early...

Then my 13:59 train announces that it's delayed till 14:14 as the other one pulls out.

This country is a joke!

I'd planned a day out today using last week's #NorthernRail sale to celebrate #Rail200: up the Settle & Carlisle, across to Newcastle, then back down the East Coast to home. But my #CrossCountry train to get to the start was cancelled and I couldn't make it.

Northern refused to change my tickets because their train was on time. Said I had to buy new ones at full price (with the sale finished, that's ~£60 instead of £4).

Conversely, #LNER refunded me the full £23 with no problems.

Few things please me more than waiting for a train that runs hourly and having two in a row cancelled. Let’s hope that they don’t cancel a third! 🤞

Because the local trams aren't running tomorrow evening, I paid for a train ticket and booked passenger assistance.
I just had a call refusing any assistance.
Not only will they not provide a ramp for me to wheel my mobility scooter on and off the train they also stated that even if I travel without my scooter they will not provide any assistance - a clear breach of the UK Equality law.
I expect to fold it and stated that on my application, but I still need the ramp - they refused.
I then explained that even if I travel without the scooter, I require the ramp and help with luggage - both the call handler and his supervisor refused even that.
I always say Northern Rail is the worst company for disabled passengers but this goes beyond anything I expect from them.

Please spread this - they need the publicity.

Commuting by train again, because I'm out after work and the motorbike would make that too complicated, especially given the weather.

Feeling slightly pleased with myself because I've saved a whole 80p by remembering that I know which trains I'll be getting, and hence can buy an advance ticket. (Also, 80p less to Northern Rail, which is even better.)
