Northern trains


It’s dangerous man, I’ve posted threads before I’m not a stranger to being in tight situations as I stood at roker park etc but these trains on a match day especially on a Saturday when you have people out shopping or visiting relatives etc it’s madness. I’ll always stick up for football fans but the past few return trips to horden have been filled with absolute morons pissed and obviously haven’t got a ticket and just pile on. It’s very dangerous and isn’t policed in the slightest, no wonder the general public class footy fans in a certain way some of the shit I’ve seen just nee call for it and borders on being very dangerous.

The train companies treat people like shit. Don’t blame punters whatsoever

As repeatedly posted on here over a season the train companies must lose thousands in revenue over no.tickets etc always recall one season they had ticket inspectors at the top of the stairs at Sunderland on a match day if you didn't have a ticket you had to pay was a good idea some reason they stopped it

We were on the 19.02 from Skiprat to Donny and that wasn’t “gripped”

In fact that train is hardly ever gripped as it’s a can’t be arsed London crew on their last shift
 
Had no problems yest tbf - only just read about the potential problems looks like i got lucky!
1140 up was 4 carriages but was fine
1900 back was 10 mins late and only 2 carriages, and was standing but wasnt bad and emptied out quite quickly

Strong possibility that we were on the same bus..gave spoons a miss tho, just settled for a couple of scoops in the Centurion. Was a bit surprised that our 18;49 booked Lumo train was only 12 minutes late departing Central, given the amount of cancelled and late running trains.

I went on the centurion for 1 after paying £5_25 a pint in the comet across the road.Our train south was from the opposite platform from yours
 
All trains 2 carriages before the match.

I’ve noticed there’s already been an early train cancelled because of train crew.

Will take a brave man to rely on any Northern trains to get about today!

Best wishes if anyone is on the trains
