Northern plays a vital role in the north of England by connecting tens of thousands of people by rail to work, leisure, education and more every day.

We are publicly-owned, headquartered in York, and our parent company is DfT OLR Holdings Ltd (DOHL) which is owned by the Secretary of State for Transport. Northern Trains Limited is a subsidiary of DOHL.

There are many exciting plans and benefits to come for Northern. These include:
- The continued roll-out of new state-of-the-art trains with a top speed of 100mph
- Extra capacity delivered by the new fleet
- A major deep cleaning program of all trains
- An overhaul of on-board cleanliness to ensure every journey will be made on a train fit for passengers
- New technology is being trialled to identify crowding pinch points to reduce overcrowding
- Work is underway to extend platforms at 30 stations across the network to allow for longer trains and to improve journeys
