Fix Northern Rail

Short forming is back 😍😍

@UKLabour Meanwhile on the railway, the train showing up at all is a sign of good luck

Better buses are coming with Labour🚌

Oops, only just seen there’s a second 4 car diagram. Still, these should really be prioritised for the peak trains if no 6 car is available rather than making them all a 3

Also if any Northern admins have seen this, I might wish to escalate this as a complaint if you can send this thread. I understand you guys don’t choose to short form our trains but this has been a consistent issue since I started commuting by train a year ago and it’s ridiculous

215 short formations (but probably a few more because it’s Northern) Airport to Blackpool is exclusively a 3 car service, except I think one 4 and one 6 car diagram Even the busiest peak trains are 3 car formations, despite this they’ve still managed to find a 331 to run MCV-WGN

hey guys I’m back from my coma… and already my first commute of the (educational) year is short formed 😍😍

You know you’ve fucked up when you’re literally cancelling 90% of a train’s journey because of that beautiful overcrowding

@dawnprestidge @northernassist Was it as bad today considering Northern’s passion for cramming commuters into the shortest train possible?

@fixnorthernrail @northernassist Thats the one. Guessing today will be the same. Reason I don’t commute often as #northernfail are consistently awful

How the fuck is this safe @northernassist

@northernassist @Chunderdog Was it not the Ilkley services because of Baildon being shut

@Chunderdog We are currently seeing changes to trains due to action short of strike, this is due to affect us until July 27th.^AH

@northernassist why have you significantly reduced the timetable pre9am at Kirkstall Forge. It's a very busy station and we are now back to a skeleton service pre 9am

@northernassist @LiamHog1973 @nationalrailenq @northernfailway So then what’s happened to the multistorey at Buckshaw that the funding has mysteriously vanished for… 🤔🤔

@LiamHog1973 @nationalrailenq @northernfailway These charges have been brought in to help tackle non rail users taking the spaces. I am sorry that this has affected your commute. ^VR

@nationalrailenq @northernassist when did this become a thing at PDG station please? So glad I rarely do my bit for the environment by getting a train to work as it now costs me x 3 the price as driving once I factor in all public transport and now parking #DickTurpinworeamask

@northernassist There’s a grand total of one bus replacement service showing on my app that departed at 15:15. I know there’s currently an overtime ban but these issues still happen on most sundays

@fixnorthernrail With gaps in service this will be happening yes if there is not a rail replacement on routes, I am sorry for the cancellations today.^AH

Oh, that’s ummm… @northernassist Will we finally get additional calls on services with a 5-hour gap?

@northernassist I don’t really plan on travelling today, as situations like this are common on Sundays I try to avoid travel. The Northern app is showing a 7 hour gap in train services but just wondering if extra trains will be applied? Most Cumbria - Airport services seem to be running

@fixnorthernrail Hi there, It is likely this has been done already but what service/stop is it you need and I can check with control if it has been put on.^AH

Went absolutely incredible too, can’t wait to see the 17:17 to Blackpool

Here we go again with the 07:22 Blackpool diagram being short formed. And in typical Northern fashion, you’ve still got a 6 car before and after this one Not even bothering to tag them because at this point clearly they don’t care as long as they’re making a profit
