I grew up on the bishop line in Shildon, used to live in the courts just above the signal box. They used to run a summer Sunday services from Bishop Auckland to Whitby which would be a nice day out. One of those trips I remember though had a single carriage 153 for the return trip with everyone crammed in with no other real way to get back home. Another memory that sticks out in my mind was when I went to make my usual trip to Darlington & for some reason I was treat to a 158 in original TransPennine Express livery which even had a BT phone on board. A major step up from the Pacers that rattled along the line usually.
Brilliant video! In terms of routes, my favourite would have to be the Manchester Airport - Barrow in Furness line. I've only rode the stretch between Preston and Cark so I can visit a family friend, but the views near Grange are brilliant! You also pass by Carnforth Heritage Centre, so I had my eyes glued out the window for about 5 minutes lol.
Mate……. This video is SO amazing! Beautiful execution,Number of stock! Stations,Explained lines that operated, and about the competition! Well done for earning a sub. Not on,y that but also the most-underrated TH-camr ever award!
I live only a few minutes from a station along the Buxton line, its fun to walk down to the railway bridge and watch a few 150's pass. The scenery along the line past Middlewood is amazing
Northern trains have been through some really difficult times, but they are still going strong. Northern trains may have some older rolling stock, but they manage to run the service regardless of the age of the stock. They are a forward thinking, customer focused company.
The Two car Sprinters used on Tees Valley and Durham coast lines are frequently two car and frequently overcrowded, especially between Middlesbrough and Newcastle.
Just started uni this week, over 4 days northern trains have been delayed on 2 and cancelled on 1, not to mention paying £4.30 for a 6 minute journey from lostock hall to Preston
Northern were certainly the bane of my university days where I needed to get three trains most mornings...timetable-wise the connections should have been more than adequate, it was rarely the case.
Northern is my local operator too, with me being at the end of the Airedale line. I have found Northern to be reliable, especially compared to TPE, at times I would use Northern's trains to avoid TPE at all costs
The only problem I have with Northern is the number of cancellations caused by Action short of Strike, which should be made illegal. A full strike with public awareness is acceptable but this ASOS is totally out of order.
Sometimes a bit of common sense wouldn't go amiss three weeks ago we caught the train from Wigan wallgate to southport, it was a Wednesday and a beautiful day! the two carriages fomation was packed to the gunnells! it was that full the the guard never passed through to check for tickets, as you can imagine it was very unpleasant with the heat and the smells from folk crammed together! four hours later on our return to Wigan we had a four formation of carriages for about 25/30 passengers! can anyone explain this carry on!!
Living on the Harrogate line the trains are the worst the newest train is only 25 years old never enough carriages always delayed or cancelled they don't care about the service or customers
The current state of Northern more of less reflects the past decades of neglect. Little to no infrastructure improvements on that result in both fast and slow trains getting stuck on the transpennine routes or just completely congested. The old rolling stock needs replacing but even when the 197s came in they were not to the same standard as what is procured down South. Just another example of the regional inequality in Britain.

Thank You! There will be more to come with other operators in the future! :)
@@VexSG Great! :d
:D*
This is interesting to hear that someone likes this operator. Might consider making an similar video but about TPE, TfW or Greater Anglia

Yes please, I would love to hear you talk about other operators as well.
My favorite Northern Line that I've travelled on is the very scenic Tyne Valley Line. I have not yet done Settle-Carlisle or the Cumbrian Coast.

Northern are shortly coming near where I live in the form of the Northumberland line, single tickets for me will be only £1, can't wait 😁
Northern rail used to be reliable pre covid. I used to travel frequently between Newcastle and Morpeth
Settle to Carlisle is my favourite by far

I quite like Northern, but my experience with them has only been on 195s. I would definitely like to see this with other operators
Can we have one for TFW? I can provide some info and also great video.
"CAF" "the service has been cancelleds due to short change to timetable" says enough ahaa

YORKSHIRE COAT LINE HULL TO SCARBOROUGH VIA BRIDLINGTON
Perhaps Northern should get rid of the older diesel trains and to replace them with ordering more extra Class 195 Civity units.

You must have missed the extensive electrification in the north west over the past decade plus the complete rebuild of the main Transpennine line 🤷♂️
