Calderdale Council leader lashes out at rail chaosNew procedures, which rail companies Northern and TransPennine Express have agreed with the government, are now in place for passengers who have been affected or severely delayed by the introduction of new rail timetables to claim compensation.

MP Chris Grayling: Northern rail timetable chaos down to 'collective failure' of industryCommenting on the compensation arrangements, Councillor Judith Blake, Leader of Leeds City Council and the Combined Authority’s representative on the Transport for the North board said: “When the scale of the disruption caused by the introduction of the new, flawed timetables emerged, we called for a comprehensive package which properly compensates passengers across the North of England.

“While the scheme that has now been announced is a step in the right direction it doesn’t go far enough and we will be continuing to press for more.

“In the meantime I would encourage all rail users who had to endure these problems to find out if they are eligible and if so, to make a claim.”

It’s our rail system that is ‘not fit for purpose’Coun Blake is leading a review of the rail disruption which will report its findings to Rail Minister Jo Johnson.
