Andy starting his bid for the leadership👍

No, just doing my job.

Surely you have some influence here?

Yes, as a member of @Transport4North, I do. But our formal requests for intervention have so far fallen on deaf ears. Only the Government can resolve this.

Andy they don’t care. Tonight my sons train had a “technical fault” so it was cancelled. We’ve also had unexpected number of trains requiring maintenance, lack of crew, various operational stuff & no reason. He has a season ticket and I’m paying again for alternatives regularly

Tonight I had to pay to get him a taxi home, because he was stuck and I couldn’t just nip and get him. Again.

As a rail worker who has experienced a fatality, and an assault, I think perhaps the first response should have been to the staff involved rather than use incidents and people for political point scoring. Be part of the solution

Well said!

Removing 1 timetableed service from the Castlefield Corridor (which if I remember is your grand idea) will hardly solve the issue and would be a retrograde step. Gov has had complete oversight of current time-table

Rather than nitpicking after every delayed train. Why not put your energy into a proper campaign to sort out the Castlefield Corridor, which the government is yet to make a decision on.
