Northern trains

Seen two four carriage trains coming through East Boldon within 30 mins of each other. I don’t know what all the whinging is about! ;-)

A senior manager said the firm was "sorry" for its recent performance, which has "not been good enough".

This could have been from any article from the last several years. They’re a disgrace. Feel sorry for anyone who has to rely on them to get anywhere on a daily basis.

They are a shambles. Northern trains south of Whitby are great. The north east genuinely gets the shit end of the stick every time.

Definitely worth it if you’re wanting a few pints. Can drive up too seeming though there’s no public transport.

Got it for £42 last month mate 😂

I’m sure I put it on here somewhere!

Stayed there after the Leeds game and it was spot on! Makes sense when it’s that cheap too. Would struggle to get a taxi back for that price


Better than Travelodges!
 
I was on the 16:03. Just about squeezed on.

Then loads of mixed messages.

Driver said it'll be leaving in 30min.

I was bursting so asked driver if I had time to get off and quick loo trip. Yeah no problem.

Get back to platform train had driven away.

Schoolboy error my part, but pissed off the train left without me.

17:04 cancelled.

£35 gone on a taxi.
