Public transport in the North West is an absolute **** show.

Trains from the 70s if they even bother to turn up #northernfail

Dear northernfail, youse at it again. Your app takes money then tells you to ‘collect your tickets at the station’.

Then you get to station and your machines says no.

But forch, you have 2x machines so I try the second one and eventually it decides to work.

It’s days off the Xmas holidays???

Typical northern rail. Cancel 4:30 train so only put half the carriages on the 5:00 one

People can't even get on at second stop

Fucking mess

11th delay repay on my commute since June submitted, and that doesn’t include the less than 15 minute delays. I only travel in twice a week 🙄 #northernfail

A trip into the office wouldn't be complete without a cancellation and having to determine another route into Leeds. The long way around it is then.

And now they've cancelled my stop and the following stop. Have had to get off and chance, will arrive at destination 30mins late #absoluteshower #NorthernFail

It’s days like today when Victoria stations makes me realise why I sometimes prefer to get the bus home! #NorthernFail

How does anyone reliably get anywhere on public transport in Leeds? You'd think getting a train should be better than lottery odds that you'll actually reach your destination within the same hour the time table suggests you will. #NorthernFail

I don't use trains much, but every time I do I am reminded what a shit service they provide. How is anyone supposed to get to work on time? #northernfail

Does this mean that the lifts at Manchester Victoria are going to be fixed now? #NorthernRail #NorthernFail

If you buy an advance train ticket and for some reason the reservation system is unavailable then they should refund you at least 50% of the ticket price #NorthernFail

Been trying to leave Liverpool Lime St for Lancaster since 10:45, 2 trains in a row delayed then train fault (on both!). As expected from #Northernfail. I'll make it to #RNAConf19 eventually I hope!

More terrible service from @northernassist?

I am shocked... #NorthernFail
January 19, 2025 at 9:11 AM
Delays caused by an electrical fault on a train in front. Maintenance, we've heard of it #northernfail

It looks like a bus but it's on rails #NorthernFail
