It happens all the time - Everyweek I seem to get the £15 compensation. Awful serviceNever fail to disappoint, train out of Leeds cancelled again, an hour wait til the next one, with obviously no seat reservation now, and the next one will be rammed, Spoons it is….
Whichway are you going. It will be rammed if going towards Manchester but if coming back to Boro it will be fine after York.Never fail to disappoint, train out of Leeds cancelled again, an hour wait til the next one, with obviously no seat reservation now, and the next one will be rammed, Spoons it is….
Back to Boro and yes not too full to be honest but getting back an hour later than anticipated today….Whichway are you going. It will be rammed if going towards Manchester but if coming back to Boro it will be fine after York.
Oof, don't go to spoons. Miles better pubs literally 1-2 mins walk away.Never fail to disappoint, train out of Leeds cancelled again, an hour wait til the next one, with obviously no seat reservation now, and the next one will be rammed, Spoons it is….

But yeah, the trains are *****.
For Leeds to Middlesbrough, National Express coaches are cheaper, more reliable, more comfortable and not overcrowded. Probably comparable on time too, as the coaches don't stop until BoroBack to Boro and yes not too full to be honest but getting back an hour later than anticipated today….
It's been state-operated since Mayim amazed they havent handed the franchise back yet... they must be losing money hand over fist
It's now a group of consultants, appointed by the Government, with the name "Transpennine Holdings". Only thing that has changed is the Managing Director so far.im amazed they havent handed the franchise back yet... they must be losing money hand over fist
I'd say that was pretty good. The problem was the weather and rolling stock location as a result. Noone lost out, everyone got home in comfort for free. For once they seem to have got everything spot on there.The last train north out of York was cancelled on Saturday night. They paid for everyone’s taxi home. Maybe 15-20 separate taxis needed in total. And everyone gets 100% of the fare refunded. Not fit for purpose.

They've improved on my local line, get the odd cancellation but not as bad as the Manc - York carnage.
Six at the momentMust of missed this.
How many franchises are state controlled now? Must be a fair few
