up at the railway station, northern rail staff are doing their best.ains may not sound like a big deal but tourism officials say it's acceptable. the lakes is a world heritage site and when the main road which runs parallel with the railway line gets busy, the resulting delays, say business owners, actually puts people off coming here. today the rail minister met with the mayor of greater manchester. remember, the government says fixing the trains in the north is a priority. i welcome the fact that he's here but i don't yet see the action plan to sort this out. i don't yet see the government saying the north of england and its transport needs are at the very top of our agenda. back in the lakes, people are worried that buses will replace trains for longer than the planned fortnight. they want help when the line reopens. we need a marketing campaign that is funded by northern and network rail to state that the service is open and the public transport back to the lake district is fully restored. northern rail says its performance has improved this week b

there will be an announcement from northern rail later today.s but what they do not want to do is rush out something to try to make it better which only makes matters worse, there want to make sure they tested it, then they have to go to network rail to get approval of it before it can be lamented, but clearly, northern rail know that this is a matter of some urgency, and they are doing everything they can to put the situation and the plan in place that will help those passengers. you have been retraining drivers, why was that necessary? it is not the question of retraining, it is getting drivers to know what their new routes are, although rita change, they may be used to running the 8:54am service from a today, but instead now they are missing out some and putting in others. —— it is that routes have changed. —— from a to b. this is part of the long—term plan to improve railways, since 1994, demand has doubled, we are a railway that is running at capacity, we have to try to put more trains on the track, better services where they are needed. th

northern rail have agreed an action plan with the realm of partnership.focused on improving driver rostering to get more trains running as quickly as possible, increasing driver training on new routes, additional contingency drivers as well as putting in extra peak services in the timetable along the bolton corridor. work on this action plan has been under way for some time. they have also published temporary timetables that will be more deliverable and will give passengers more confidence in the reliability of their service. this will mean removing certain services from the new timetable while ensuring there is still an improvement on the total number of services being run by northern compared to before the timetable change. alternative arrangements being made for passengers negatively impacted by the changes, i believe this measure is necessary to stabilise the service, enabling improvements to be introduced gradually. on gtr, there are more services running on a day—to—day basis than before the timetable change and southern and gatwick express services

although northern rail is blaming the new timetable, actually we've been having significant problemser. since april it's become ridiculous. every morning you're waiting to see if your train is cancelled. it's often taking two and a half hours, and our long journey is taking that long because you can get partway through your journey and long because you can get partway through yourjourney and the train is cancelled. or multiple services are cancelled on the way in and it becomes very, very stressful because you can't get to work on time. what impact has that had on your life and work? it gets to the point where you think we're going to have to move into manchester. i work at the university and i commuted for 12 yea rs. university and i commuted for 12 years. when trans—pennine was running the servers it was extremely reliable but since northern took over its got worse and worse. with the new timetable, although they say they are improving services, actually it's made life impossible for commuters. both myself and a lot of other commuters no longer have services that will get us in bef

the service was suspended for two weeks on monday, and replaced by buses, as northern rail brought ineen unreliable since northern took over the franchise two years ago. we've been subjected to cancellation after cancellation up here for months now, all through the winter. and the way that i see it, having experienced years and years of the train being faultless, if northern rail can't provide the service, as they said that they were going to, then as far as i can see, they must be in breach of their contract. they must be. the suspension of the lakes line rail service started on monday for a two—week period, but the theory now is that it could extend to three, possibly even to five, weeks, and the problem there is that that gets perilously close to the beginning of the school holiday summer season — vital for the tourism industry in this part of the lake district. this is the only train running in windermere at the moment. the summer season is well under way here, with visitors from around the world following in wordsworth‘s footsteps, inspired by his pen strokes. but for those worki
