Perhaps the cancellation of the through trains from scarborough to Manchester are proving costly. How any one could contemplate cancel the most profitable part of your line makes me wonder. Just like the hotdrinks food trolley.The guy told me he took more money on scarborough to york route than any other and you took it off. I just think you are trying to off load us to 3rate Northern. How can transpennine end at York. Or why not the posh bits not scallybridge and scarborough where they don’t have electricity. It’s just like the steam trains all over again. Which are the most profitable. Correct pacers. 2bus carriages on tracks or 15 coach steam locomotive. I rest my case trot down to the job centre any vacancies in flipping burgers. Because that’s all your good for no disrespect for over paid football league players yours faithfully David Wilson
