Northern Trains is the UK's second-largest rail operator, carrying nearly 100 million passengers a year across Yorkshire and the Humber, the North West and the North East. Its network serves major regional centres including Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle, alongside commuter towns and rural destinations.
Its mixed-age fleet includes Class 195 diesel and Class 331 electric Civity trains, equipped with air conditioning, power sockets and free Wi-Fi. The operator is also pursuing plans to introduce up to 450 new electric, battery-electric, and multi-mode trains as part of its wider fleet renewal programme.
Standard
TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Northern has no First Class, quiet coaches or onboard catering, so a little preparation before boarding can make a noticeable difference. If you are travelling from major stations such as Leeds or Manchester Piccadilly, buy food and drinks from the concourse before passing through the barriers."
"Onboard, Class 195 and Class 331 trains offer better overhead luggage clearance, while older regional trains have more limited rack space, making early boarding worthwhile if you have larger bags."
"Travelling with a bicycle requires similar planning because Northern carries bikes free of charge but does not accept reservations. Each train has space for two bikes on a first-come, first-served basis, so Off-Peak services are the more practical option."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"With a live train tracker, I've often been notified of the train platform minutes before it's up on the main station board. Avanti West Coast passengers who haven't booked a seat should head straight for Coach C (or C, G and U on an 11-coach train), which is left unreserved. The ramps between the platforms and the main concourse are pretty steep, so hold on to your suitcases when boarding or alighting."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Blackpool: Most visitors stick tightly to the promenade, but one of Blackpool’s real gems is Stanley Park. It feels completely different from the seafront, with formal gardens, a boating lake and wide-open green space, and it’s well worth the short trip inland. For getting around the coast itself, the tram is usually the simplest option and saves a lot of repetitive walking along the front."
