I appreciate @northernassist's attempt to try and sell NEXUS fares from their TVMs at Sunderland, but a NEXUS child Day Saver should be £2.20.... not £1000 😶🌫️😶🌫️

As previously discussed - In terms of pure aesthetics, this is much more pleasing than the mandated Black on White by NR.
Could do with a red RS2 lozenge, rather than Red on Black, but hey ho.
Even Northern's billboard; White on blue - Looks calm, professional, and welcoming!

Good morning from Harrogate - where we’ve made it clear and simple about our destinations, frequency and journey times. More of this on the way at 10 other stations in the coming weeks as we continue to build growth to the railway.

LNER’s InterCity 225s resume regular services to Newcastle next week, with one return journey every afternoon from King’s Cross.
They will be the first 225s in revenue service north of York since 24 September 2020. Head to 225.org.uk/diagrams-lner-… for the times and details.
