Where were you when the train went by?
Were you one of the 40 odd people left standing on the platform at Slaithwaite at 08.15 on the morning of 9th February?
How did you feel as you watched the train go straight past the platform with no sign of stopping?
There can be few more annoying things in life that watching the train you were supposed to catch to get to work on time, sail through the station without so much as bye your leave.
There can be few excuses for missing a station, after all it is the one thing that a driver is supposed to be looking out for.
Let us hope that Northern will offer all those passengers an unqualified apology and undertake to ensure that this does not happen again. Meanwhile perhaps the multi-national company will get round to repairing the train information system, now out of action for nearly 6 months.
