Krysia Rumsey Hmmm the new machine in Askam is always out of order and quite frankly, so is the service!

Laura Marshall Maybe Northern Rail should just focus on getting their trains to stations on time?! Novel idea!!

Janie Savage How about passengers fining Northern Rail for no trains

Faye Richards Might sound stupid here, but I can’t use my friends and family railcard on the machine ??

Nicola Ann Johnson Sometimes the ticket office is shut so what are we meant to do then, I thought that is why they put barriers up in some places so people can buy a ticket at the other end if they don't have one

Karen Pillifent When you buy tickets for your return journey then your train has been cancelled and you seek another way home and you have to buy another ticket, you complain and give details twice and few months later no response!!

Paul Rayney So the fine is " £20 or double the single fare whichever is greater " , can we expect to receive " £20 or double the single fare whichever is greater " in compensation when the train is cancelled ......I won't hold my breath .

Darren Gill This is about as bad as having 2 guys stand at the gates at Barrow to check tickets,if you have a valid ticket the machine will work and the gate open to let you through,if you buy a ticket from these machines does this mean the machine is replacing the guard,and if this happens how will driver know to stop at the request stations if a passenger needs to get off

Bethany Armstrong This is stupid in my opinion. I have had situations where the ticket machine hasn’t been working and the conductor didn’t actually bother to come through the train. Just out to make money. Maybe they should concentrate on making sure the trains actually arrive on time? I used to travel every day from Barrow to Preston and on the train and 99% of the time they were late or cancelled.

Sarah Lewis Am i right in thinking we buy tickets for a seat on the train? Because 90% of my train journeys I'm standing up can never get a seat as they only have 2 carriages running at peak times

Peter Tillypig Morton You can still buy a ticket on the train so what is the problem

Julie Green They must need the money to pay for all the delay repay tickets they have to issue 😂😂😂

Kris Tank Telfer So what the crack if the machine is out of order on the platform and the conductor on the train doesn’t come down the train to buy a ticket off

Jacqui Nicholson Ya have to buy ticket at barrow station, cos they won't let ya through doors onto platform otherwise

Tom Hendrie You need to wear a T Shirt that says......

“Ticket purchase has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.”

David Mason What about if the train is cancelled???

Dawn Brown Lynne Baines. Where do we pay to go. When doors refuse to open. Lol. Xx 😂😂

Pauline Griffiths Northern rail not fit for purpose sooner they go the better, oh I forgot they go know where !

Eddie Kenny How about just run trains on time.

Greg Rose Will they have ticket machines at all stations even the small ones.

report this

James Probert Do you get a train included? 😂

Emma Lee But you can’t use your railcard from the ticket machine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Steven Robinson If ya have the money on the train to pay for a ticket what’s the problem???

David Sargeant Ok what fines do they get for cancelling trains

Allan Keeler Only sells tickets that northern want you to buy no special offers no discount cards no BR priv cards what about a number trying to buy tickets and never seen a machine like that and train comes in you not got ticket

Dave Mack Ha ha and whose going to issue and collect it lol the company can’t organise bloody train times so how the hell will they sort out this lmao
