Dad. Other half. TV stuff. Views belong to me. The jokes are other people's.

@northernassist Great. I’d like the reasons for delay on every weekday 0727 Mytholmroyd to Manchester Victoria service between 4th August 2025 and today, 16th Feb 2026. Thanks.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

So, @northernassist, can you tell me why the 0727 Mytholmroyd to Manchester Victoria service is late every single day? I have been catching it since August and not once has it been on time.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist That’s not the answer to the question I asked, @northernassist. You can’t even get your simple customer service right. I’d like you to explain why this same service is delayed every day, without fail.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist not even bothering to reply to service delay posts now. Shoes the level of service we can expect I guess.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Another winning start to the day by @northernassist. Come on @AndyBurnhamGM and @MayorOfWY, put some real pressure on @Heidi_Labour to sort this out. It’s endlessly awful…

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@Winstamike @northernassist It was worse under privatisation, Michael.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Pathetic, @northernassist. Like every other day. When will this dire situation improve. Why are you not held accountable?

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist But that doesn’t help at all with me being late for work. Again. There’s a limit to the number of times this can happen before I am penalised. Will you compensate me for that too, @northernassist ?

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist Strangely it doesn't show constantly delayed trains or people having to stand for their entire journey due to short-formed trains. Must try harder, @northernassist

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Guess what, @northernassist, the 0727 Mytholmroyd to Manchester is LATE and SHORT-FORMED again. Welcome to 2026. Another year of misery for high fare-paying rail customers.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist I can predict, without a shadow of a doubt, that the three services - 7.07, 7.27 and 8.07 from Mytholmroyd to Manchester - will be delayed on Monday 15th December and every day that week. So why can’t Northern?

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Yet again, EVERY train delayed. And the ticket machine at Mytholmroyd (Plstfrom 1) is still broken after over a week of reporting. The (Really Not) Great British Rail Shambles, starring @northernassist, trundles on and inconvenienced thousands of paying customers.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist But these three ‘services’ from Mytholmroyd to Manchester Victoria are delayed every single day, without fail. So what’s the real issue here?

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist Which service are you referring to? There are 2 delayed here and one cancelled. The 0727 is late and short-formed so that will mean standing room only all the way to Manchester. Again. It’s a total joke, @northernassist. Wouldn’t you agree?

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Another winning start to the day by @northernassist. Oh, and the ticket machine on platform 1 at Mytholmroyd station has been broken for over a week. Top job.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist Actually, @northernassist, the moment I think all of us are waiting for is when trains run on time and are not short-formed. I’ll take that over a cushion any day.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

But they are ALL late, @northernassist. Every single one.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Welcome to the start of another week of total incompetence from @northernassist. What are this morning’s excuses for Mytholmroyd to Manchester?

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Why is the 2323 Manchester Victoria to Mytholmroyd late, @northernassist? The train is rammed and hasn’t left Victoria yet…

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

@northernassist Indeed. 33 minutes late. Precious time with my family that I’ll never get back.

[Simon Hall @SimonMHall]

Okay, @northernassist, what on earth is happening with the 1944 Preston to Hebden Bridge service? I’m sat on the train in the station but apparently we aren’t leaving for 30 minutes. Shambles once again.
