Was strange hearing 'intercity service' mentioned in the on-board announcement on my 222 today. Seen quite a few trains this week still in East Midlands Trains livery yet.
This is why I avoid TPE unless absolutely desperate between Sheffield and Manchester - constant overcrowding and 6-car trains so rare. Give me a northern pacer any day on this route!
I hadn't realised there are help points at all stations I use or pass through.
Does the Peartree intercom fit in this category? I've used this but can't remember seeing a help point there recently.
Thanks for the correction skyhigh. I posted in a rush and forgot about the correct list.
Might have been the same one I saw in Kidsgrove this morning too.
I prefer the pacers when I'm travelling between Sheffield and Manchester. They're old but as long as they turn up and I get a seat then that's good enough for me.
