Then add on the normal cancellations (whether within or out of Northerns control). It all adds up. When you think of other TOCs like ATW, they increased their passenger numbers but their services were a lot better.

I actually dropped my MP and E.Mail yesterday about the poor reliability of Northern Services and pointed blame at the Class 319s of which the first 2 between Wigan and Liverpool yesterday morning both picked up Train Faults and ran really late.
