A quick heads up. Northern Rail are once again doing their £10 day tickets. You need to buy tomorrow's (Friday 12/09/14) edition of the Yorkshire Evening Post for details. Unfortunately I have no further details until tomorrow but I understand that you need to purchase a further 2 issues of the YEP in order to collect tokens.

Though you didn't need to collect tokens the last time I bought one, which would be December 2012. Regards, Darren. |

Thanks for that, I haven't been for a paper (or several maybe) yet so this is very helpful. Regards, Darren. |

That's true, the majority of buses I've travelled on with First are just as filthy as Northern Rail. |

That's true, the majority of buses I've travelled on with First are just as filthy as Northern Rail. At Rotherham all First buses should be swept off every night and any spillages mopped, all buses are mopped/windows cleaned etc every second night. They get a deep clean on 28 day inpection, that deep clean Northern Rail would probably call a refurbishment! I'm guessing that is procedure across the board. Not being biased, I find First buses to be clean enough when they leave the garage but the thing which should be improved upon is seats and in recent years at Rotherham this has got better. Seats should be changed when they are filthy/stained but they are often not. |

Theres always one  First buses are cleaned every night. I have yet to travel on a Northern Rail train that has had anything other than a quick sweep off. I recall being told about the train they cleaned specially for WYPTE after complaints from them about cleanliness. It was taken to Leeds station where the PTE looked at it and told them that it was way below par, try again, and please do not run this train in service today. And that was one that had had a special clean. So please do not tell me their stock is clean, it is disgusting. I know it is old but so are many others. It can still be old and clean - unless its Northern Rail. |

As you say they get a heavy clean alternate nights where a group of 4 cleaners get 15 minutes per bus and you can do a lot in that time. That would surpass the annual cleaning time on Northern Rail by the looks of it. |
