Re it's creator, the following is taken from Roger French's recent Alex Hornby piece, https://busandtrainuser.com/2025/06/22/northerns-back-on-track/

Yes correct.

Not sure with SailRail, that would be something to check when making the reservation, but normal foot passengers don't need to check in if travelling with hand luggage. https://www.steam-packet.com/customer-services/check-in-and-boarding Didn't sample the catering when I went over on Manxman...

That and if a 1Sxx or 9Sxx is anywhere in the vicinity then the 2Cxx is not getting put out in front of it anyway.

15 minutes now the cut off across all platforms for Northern.

You could become a member of the Friends of Settle Carlisle Line which would then allow you to purchase a Dales Railcard (without the normal residency requirements).

OK, but I can only report that Fujitsu Journey Planner will sell a ticket specifically to NMC with an itinerary via NMN and vice versa. Perhaps an incorrect implementation. What the internet will do, or what the routeing guide says should happen I don't know.

As @plugwash says the stations are linked via a walk, so if you put in a Manchester to New Mills Central journey via New Mills Newtown into a journey planner (at least in a ticket office) it will show a New Mills Central ticket valid and vice versa for the other way round. Like how Burnley...

DRI to RER exists. CDR £16.40 SDR £17

Correct. Not listed as inter-available.

My understanding is that the Coasts, Lakes, Dales, and Fells booklet was produced out of a regional pot of money (I recall Chris Jackson when he was regional director signing off on it) rather than a central marketing/publicity budget. The back cover also says in partnership with Community Rail...

This one actually is listed on the list of interavailable stations available on the internal Knowledgebase. Rose Hill and Marple on the other hand is not.

I would expect you would have to go back through the corporate travel provider. If it was a TOC they could charge £5 or £10 (different TOCs have different fees) for replacement of lost/defaced/outdated photocard and reissue of season ticket. In your instance there is a strong argument for that...

Live Departures used to do full on A-Zs, now if you go to for example the below page for Newcastle then click on each link it gives an A-Z style display for that journey. https://live-departures.info/rail/timetable/Newcastle/

In terms of signage as well as any posters there should be more permanent signage such as the one on the station building at street level on the Jul 2022 street view, or possibly a metal sign fixed to railings, so look for that as well.

Chris was Regional Director West and Central at Northern, not MD. Left to become MD at Transpennine.

From the internal knowledgebase,

Clearly depends on the Ticket Issuing System because my TIS will only allow me to sell a platform ticket for my station.

Inclusive Tour tickets for tour operators to sell as part of a package holiday.

Yeah the only none bus option I could see was Heysham Port -> Lancaster -> Manchester Oxford Road -> Peterborough -> London Bridge -> Marden, which takes an hour longer than the RRB option and presumably involves packed TPE and EMR trains. Personally I too would steel myself for a 40 minute RRB...
