Northern train operating company
As problem plagued train operator Northern Rail is stripped of its franchise, passengers recount their tales of misery and the impact on their lives.
The service has been taken back into public control.
"It's another example of rail passengers in the North being treated like second-class citizens."
Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram said Northern had 'consistently failed' to deliver
'To ask these long-suffering passengers now to pay even more for a poor, unreliable service is to add insult to injury.'
Around 80 services will not run.
The transport secretary said he needs to be in London for the Heathrow vote.
