Steven Heywood<p>There are reasons why Mancunians are pissed off with the rail services.</p><p>The only reason the other city centre station — Deansgate — isn't in the list is that half the services that stopped there five years ago don't anymore and it's closed at busy periods like this evening (it closed at 6pm).</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgnl7j1kglo" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgnl7</span><span class="invisible">j1kglo</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>Just an ordinary evening at Humphrey Park. Which is why I've been sat on this bus an hour.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>It looks like Northern Rail's "Do not travel" advice to passengers on Saturdays has been extended to Fridays too.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>The number of trains Northern have cancelled this afternoon, they could have put more than two coaches on this one.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>It's Monday morning so Northern is providing a cornucopia of cancelled trains due to "A short notice change in the timetable," which is a meaningless form of words designed to make it look as there is method to the madness.</p><p>This will be followed later on by a lot of cancellations due to a lack of train crew, the train crew having been stranded by short notice changes in the timetable.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/BrokenBritain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenBritain</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>If you're wondering why so many trains are late running or cancelled due to lack of train crew it's because the train crew are stuck waiting for late running or cancelled trains.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ouroboros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ouroboros</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>It's Saturday so the local train service owes more to the rules of roulette than a timetabled schedule.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>Northern's train services are the long, wet Sunday teatimes in November of the nation's soul. Not apocalyptically awful, just full of the banal certainty of cold water being poured on any sparks of joy.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NorthernFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernFail</span></a></p>
Steven Heywood<p>Northern's trains are in meltdown this evening.
