@SouthernRailUK Hi, I'm travelling from Barnham to Oxford tomorrow but my 10:59 train to Southampton Central has been cancelled. Trainline tells me my ticket is on the next valid service but that would mean I miss my connection. Can I use my ticket to catch an earlier train?

A DfT source told YorkshireLive Northern leaders had responded by the August 6 deadline - but neither the source, the Government nor Transport for the North have said what the decision was

[Sam Brooke @Sam_Brooke9]

Two weeks ago, Northern leaders were set to decide on whether to adopt a reduced rail timetable with cuts to #Yorkshire services to Manchester Airport, or to stick with the current timetable until 2023 and risk packed trains
