    21.30 train out of Huddersfield cancelled

    Clay has hit the nail on the head regarding crew changes on route. We have enough staff to run a service from Scarborough to York but get shafted by the lack of staff from Manchester who bring some services in and any sickness at that end. When we had an emergency timetable, which was a...

    21.30 train out of Huddersfield cancelled

    It's not helping that ASLEF have (yet another) overtime ban in place till Saturday. It's a shambles that train companies have to rely on drivers working overtime to fulfill its services. This is occupation where there should be no overtime, the company should offer a service based on how many...

    Digital season card passes at the riverside stadium

    My card worked fine on Saturday. There was a bit of a queue when I arrived at 245ish but only took about 5 mins to clear, it was the sort of queue we get when its nearly a full house - which of course was the case. I don't understand where the club are going with this digital plan - if its not...

    West Brom Away

    Where did you find this info? Train companies don't usually go on strike, it's the union members, doesn't sound quite right.

    Televised games - announcement schedule

    Sick of the sky schedule, in Germany they select the games for the first 10 weeks or so straight away, then another big block later on . That is all 3 divisions, not just the Bundesliga. We should do the same - all this drip feed of 2 or 3 weeks is b***ks.

    What is the roughest pub you have ever been to?

    Golden last- now there's a pub! We usually go in on a boxing day pub crawl. Driven past the Fford green many a time on the way to the headingley test, always looked grim. Went in the General Elliott in Leeds one new years day before a game as there was little open - nearly as bad as the three...

    Messi looks finished ….

    To be fair I also based it on the fact I saw Ronaldo play about 15 times for Man Utd, twice for Madrid and once for Portugal.

    Messi looks finished ….

    Lucky enough to see play, just once in el classico at Camp Nou in 2012. Scored twice including a superb free kick in a 2-2 draw, you can guess who scored both Madrid goals. Catalonia was pushing for independence again at the time so the atmosphere was electric, 98000 there! Still think Ronaldo...

    Has anyone been to Bratislava?

    Last time I went it was part of a Vienna - Bratislava - Brno - Vienna trip. Got a good deal on Austrian air from Manchester to Vienna. All 3 are around an hour from each other by train, although you should be able to get the hydrofoil down the the Danube from Bratislava to Vienna this time of...

    Favourite Ashes Moments

    Turned down a ticket for the Sunday at Headingley in 2019 - big mistake. However I was at Trent Bridge in 2015 for Broad 8-15, that was some morning - Aussies all out at 1240!

    Aer Lingus flights

    Used them to go to Chicago in 2016, decent airline and good flight. Went Leeds - Dublin - Chicago and yes we did our immigration check in Dublin, very straight forward, then collected luggage after landing and left the airport like an American citizen. Can't imagine its changed - check the...

    Away matches with Boro where you have gone in the home areas.

    Old Trafford, Roker Park twice, Hillsborough in 89. Highfield Road in a box, Huddersfield . Think we ended up in a home section at Villareal but we'd had a few!
