Day 4 with no direct service Leeds to Harrogate. Going live from the bus replacement. This is 2025, not 1925.

Platform 3 at Leeds just cleared the board — every Northern service cancelled until further notice. No announcement, no staff in sight. Passengers left standing in the cold.

Five cancellations in a row. This is what the departure board at Manchester Victoria looks like every morning.

I have been tracking every cancellation for 2 months. 47 cancellations out of 120 scheduled services on the Leeds-Skipton route. That is a 39% failure rate.

Going live from Sheffield station — absolute chaos. Three trains cancelled back-to-back, the platform is heaving.

Northern call this "minor disruption". These photos tell a different story. People crammed on a 2-coach train that should be 4.

The Office of Rail and Road just published Q3 performance data. Northern has the worst cancellation rate of any operator — 6.8% of services cancelled versus 3.2% industry average.

Filmed this at Huddersfield. Guard telling a packed platform there is no information on when the next train will arrive. "Just wait" is not good enough.

Missed my daughter's school play because the 16:45 from Manchester was cancelled with no replacement service. She was looking for me in the audience. This cannot keep happening.

The "rail replacement bus" turned up 40 minutes late and only goes to the wrong station. You literally could not make this up.
