Responses
Northern are going to add better and more services, does this mean more cancelations?
I agree 100% late, delayed and then cancelled. I regularly get home or to work at least 15mins late, often four or five days per week.
I have a travel pass and the delay repay compensation is pointless claiming a partial refund.
Two years to retirement and I can’t wait.
So let’s see how this goes and good luck with your commute.
