More than 28,000 rail fare evasion prosecutions by Northern Rail and TransPennine Express quashed

The deed is done and the die is cast. Next year's long distance footbike adventure is going to be the Trans-Pennine Trail which runs from Southport on the west coast of the UK to Hornsea on the east coast with a plan to stop off in York along the way.

Having completed the Camino Portugues a lot of lessons were learnt about loading up the footbike and for next year's trip I'm going to see about adding a pannier rack to the front of the Kickbike rather than having a basket on the handlebar.

Motorists warned not to travel unless necessary as the M62 remains closed

Motorists warned not to travel unless necessary as the M62 remains closed

The M62 is currently closed in both directions between junction 24 and 21 due to high winds. A diversion is in place from junction 24, following the black circle route, which will take you along the A629, A646 towards Todmorden, A6033 and join the A58 to the A664 following signs for the motorway. This is causing significant traffic delays around the area and this is compounded by the A58 Rochdale…
