- Keep your ticket and booking details. If your train is delayed, you may be able to claim Delay Repay.
- If Northern's app won't load, try its website in a browser, or the other way round.
- For flights, check your airline's app and the airport's departures page before travelling.
Our check tests the public Northern website. Its app, sign-in or other services can still have problems while the website is up.
