More than 130 Northern stations benefit from dog watering stations

Northern have rolled out pup-friendly provisions to support customers travelling with dogs, making travel easier with four-legged friends.

As warmer weather hopefully gets closer, Northern has installed new dog watering stations throughout its 138 staffed stations in a bid to help furry friends keep hydrated whilst out and about.

Mark Powles, customer & commercial director at Northern, said:

“Our customers are at the heart of everything we do – whether they are human or canine.

“Dogs are welcome on our services are we want to provide the best journey possible for everyone.”

The facilities have been put in place as part of a wider programme of improvements that Northern is carrying out across its rail network.
