@Ollie_Cowan Hardmen dish out black eyes mate they don't get them!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@every_station @northernassist Great I'm on a Pacer running 15 minutes late!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@showbizshaun @northernassist Want to get some decent trains for paying customers instead of the crap we have to put up with every day!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@Ollie_Cowan Only Malays can run amok!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@Ollie_Cowan Good luck mate

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@cunners4 Can't believe you passed to anybody Eddie!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@bollockchops not surprised you're always injured playing in slippers!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist You keep plugging this compensation lark but there are some things that money can't compensate for and time is one of them. Get your act together or get out of the franchise!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist Shouldn't have to. If you can't provide the service don't advertise it by having it on a timetable in the first place!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist But you can't compensate for the time lost though can you?

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist @WalksBritain very appropriate seeing as walking is often quicker than waiting for your trains!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist instead of paying compensation why don't you employ enough staff to run the service you're supposed to be running properly!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist Fewer services than normal? Thought the new timetables were supposed to mean more services not fewer. Mind you using words like 'services', 'normal' and 'TIMEtable' in connection with Northern is laughable or would be if it wasn't so serious for regular passengers. A disgrace!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@BBCLancashire its one thing having boards saying trains are on time it's another altogether the service ACTUALLY being on time trust me!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist Will they include all the cancellations? And as the timetables are changed every year why are the printed version not available BEFORE they are implemented instead of after? Shambles of a company!.

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@northernassist Hundreds of journeys affected every day by Northern's constant cancellations!

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@every_station @northernassist @transportgovuk Pity they can't actually run the services they are supposed to! Dozens of cancellations every day for the past month

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@deb_djohnston @orangeveesaint Not the only service its happening on. Multiple cancellations every day for the last month or so (I have to travel on Northern several times every week). It's a disgrace

[Frank Martin @fmsub]

@BBCSport what is so great about being very well paid to watch football?
