#northernfail practicing that genius policy of holding an already very late train at the station. Cos that makes everyone sure they're the best people to run this franchise.
Hilarious random wait at Bolton. No announcement. No explanation. No reassurance whether we will actually be taken to our appointed destinations tonight.
No smoking signs all along the platform. People overtly smoking everywhere.
Never policed by #northernfail staff.
Other countries have train services. We have hostage situations.
It would be lovely to be able to use a delay repay complimentary return train ticket without having to submit a fresh claim for delay repay compensation. I'm trying to use up the dozen I've got in my wallet and I'm getting new ones quicker than I can use them up.
I currently work full time in the office. I pay £37 per week for a train ticket and, considering the service, that is a rip off.
Gonna be working hybrid soon. Three days in the office. Investigating a Flexi ticket (8days travel within a 28 day period), the cost of that ticket is over £80!
So, my current weekly ticket gives me 7 consecutive days of travel for £37. But shifting to a nonconsecutive pattern costs an additional £45!
Money grabbing arseholes!
It rains for half a day so now all the trains are cancelled due to flooding.
This is Manchester - it's gonna fucking rain!
Waiting for another late train at the station.
Why are there vapers positioned at perfect 10m intervals? There's literally nowhere I can stand to escape their butterscotch bronchitis.
And how come they're puffing away quite happily, while proper smoking is banned on all trains and platforms?
