Northern to celebrate improvements at Garforth station

Northern has hit a century in its ongoing work to improve stations across the north of England, with more than 100 shelters installed as part of Northern’s Better Stations programme.

Due to a fault with the signalling system near to Deansgate station there is currently major disruption to services to and from Manchester – particularly to the north of the city on routes to Bolton, Wigan, Preston and Blackpool.

Northern is calling on all Super League fans to plan their travel carefully ahead of this weekend’s Grand Final at Old Trafford.

Rail users in Burnley and Blackburn face a brighter future thanks to a team of dedicated Northern apprentices.

Northern has unveiled the first two trains in a £500m new fleet that will set new standards for customers using local rail in the north of England.

There is just one week to go until Northern’s additional compensation scheme is open for business.

The scheme, which is available from Tuesday 9 October, will see compensation offered to those customers who travelled three or more days a week in April, May or June 2018 but who did not have a season ticket.
