One for the Christmas party Whatsapp group: Northern shares quick-reference guides to its ‘last trains home’ from stations across its network

Produced by Northern, the handy graphics highlight its last services from its hubs at Hull, Leeds, Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Oxford Road, Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Victoria, Newcastle and Sheffield stations.

The guides are also useful for anyone heading into the city centre for some last minute Christmas shopping.

Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “This is definitely one for the Christmas party Whatsapp group.

“It’s very easy to lose track of time and our hope is that with these quick-reference guides people can always have the essential ‘last train home’ information easily to hand.

"We're on Whatsapp too - so people can check live departure information with us there."
