It is one of the most moving moments in film. Rachmaninoff's Concerto for Piano 2 played as the couple in the 1945 movie, Brief Encounter, realise their love is doomed while gazing into each others eyes at a railway station. The station was Carnforth and the actors, Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson.
The plan follows a pilot scheme conducted at nine stations across the North of England in the past twelve months which saw a significant reduction in the number of loitering, graffiti and vandalism-related incidents during the trial. “The classical music trials proved very interesting – and the results speak for themselves. We’ll now begin work on a roll-out programme across 23 targeted stations to spread that success far and wide.”
On Sunday 21 May, Northern’s new summer timetable comes into effect and all customers, especially those who have made regular journeys on the same train times, are advised to check before they travel. For more information, visit: www.northernrailway.co.uk/timetablechange
