New, state-of-the-art, Northern trains are now running between Chester and Leeds.

Northern has responded to comments made by Secretary of State Grant Shapps at this morning's Transport Select Committee.

Northern launched new trains on its Chester to Leeds service yesterday (Monday) with the help of four of the city’s Roman soldiers.

The first 1,000 Northern customers are celebrating this week following the first draw of Northern’s half a million-pound giveaway.

Northern’s work with local communities was heralded at the Community Rail Awards held last night (Thursday).
