Of course snow grinds all the roads to a halt up here and I seemingly can't claim a refund or travel tomorrow with today's tickets (only changeable with a fee) yet any time the sky looks a bit funny anywhere else and this is can be offered!!!
Whenever I need to get the train I always get it from Newcastle and stay up with family in Gateshead, that way if anything happens I can always walk!
I made the fatal mistake of booking from Bishop to Manchester because I couldn't be bothered to go up to Newcastle, obviously Northern were running late and I had to briskly walk across Darlington station to catch my connection!
Thing is, had the council actually bothered to grit the roads, there wouldn't have been much issue today, maybe on a couple routes but not what happened today with the pathetic amount we had!
