Hopes for new trains on Buxton line. Thinks Northern, the RMT, A6 & A555 are awful! Loves cycling. Pro EU. Commenting on train chaos as I commute in the North

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@northernassist - why are you playing games with all the poor folk at Manchester Victoria trying to get the hebden bridge / Leeds line. Constantly changing and cancelling at whim with no help to anyone. As usual the service is shocking.

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@northernassist - why do you keep cancelling trains on the Buxton line? Train crew unavailability isn’t a good enough excuse - either employ people or run trains driver controlled only. No wonder the A6 is so busy!

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

And finally @northernassist and @Transport4North and @TPEassist @TPExpressTrains … it’s time to abandon your third world service! So very sad but electric car from Peaks to Newcastle so much cheaper, greener and more reliable…. Our northern rail service is pitiful. Farewell

@TPEassist my 6.06am train from Newcastle via Huddersfield to Manchester has been cancelled tomorrow morning. Do you have ticket acceptance in place with both cross country and LNER as you seem to have cancelled most TPE options!

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@northernassist But it isn’t this line that’s been affected is it? Is it just down to having train crew not bothering

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

Hello @northernassist what’s happened to the 18.51 from Manchester Piccadilly to Buxton ….. is it train crew can’t be bothered? … or knackered train broken down?

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

I do feel a bit sorry for you on social media with militant train staff and awful trains.. just hoping for an honest answer please :-)

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@northernassist - any idea what’s happening to the Disley and Buxton trains this evening? One been stuck in Stockport for 20 mins or more now

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@da40cambs @TPEassist It’s like this every day…. they just try to rotate the excuses occasionally. My Manchester <> Newcastle trains are cancelled about 80% of the time every week at the minute. Never rely on a transpennine train if you need to get somewhere urgently

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

I mean @TPEassist I could have got an earlier train but didn’t because you’d kept my booked one on time until 10 Mins before departure. Do you really hate all your customers and want to make our lives as miserable as possible?

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

Why oh why @TPEassist @TPExpressTrains do you cancel trains with 10 mins notice. My 17.43 from NCL has just been cancelled and you’ll have known for hours as guessed all because the inbound was cancelled 3 hours back. It’s beyond shocking now - you don’t actually run a service

And the @RMTunion love pretending a guard is necessary… on this train the alarm call goes unanswered; no guard comes through train, toilets out of order….. all pointless.

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

Welcome to railways of the 3rd world proudly sponsored by the @RMTunion and ably abetted by Avanti, Transpennine and Northern. It’s just so depressing.

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@JAPC72 @RMTunion Out of the dark ages. Wake up…. We’re meant to be in the 21st century!

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@cfsbcichenitzar @RMTunion Would be good to put on the fire to keep us all warm

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@mrpolll @RMTunion Did they come in multiple teams? That’s just part of the job, nothing more. Would help us all if some trains actually ran

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

They seem to have given up on trains at @northernassist @TPEassist and @AvantiWestCoast … 5 hours each way from Disley to London today. Message from the luddites at @RMTunion and the railway generally seems to be …. get in the car. So sad.

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

Makes me wonder where I stand when this guy on the @CrossCountryUK service to Sheffield strung a series of lies and presented a bank card that didn’t work to the hardworking guard. I might not like the unions but such people are taking the piss.

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

@CrossCountryUK here’s some splendid fare evasion going on

[buxtonlinetrain @buxtonlinetrain]

Feel a bit sorry for @CrossCountryUK guard into Sheffield this evening having to deal with these people who’d hidden in the toilets for 45 mins and then refused to give contact details and used a card that “didn’t work”. I may not like strikes but do like basic decency.
