Anyone know what is the real reason why the 0816 train is ALWAYS late? They tend to have various reasons every single day.

The 08:05 is comparatively stable thou, but not always the train I want to get on.

Very disappointing.

Anyone know what’s being filmed tonight next the A658 between Goldsborough Hall and the Kestral? They’ve got a massive crane with a powerful spotlight and about 20 vans up there?

Hi guys I’m looking for some places that I can go to at night in Harrogate or max an hour drive away. Abandoned buildings, accessible enclosed areas. Just somewhere to go with a friend to enjoy a couple of hours exploration and chat. Not expecting much of a reply but thought I’d try. Cheers

I was just wondering if anyone knows when the lights get turned on in the trees in Valley Gardens? It's our first year been here and we only caught them the last week they were here early this year.. dying to see them again .

I think it's an F35 that's been circling for an hour. Not on ADS-B or Flight radar though so can't confirm... Seems quite random? Aliens?

Looking to visit tomorrow from mid morning, any recommendations for parking in/near the centre? TIA

Can anyone tell me more about this small lapel badge, which I suspect dates from World War I?

Looking to make friends and meet new people.

Hi, Im 27M , who recently (yesterday) moved to Ferensby, Knaresborough bcz of my new Job. l want to explore Knaresborough and Harrogate.

Open to walks, gym, Gaming and exploring things…

Hi local Harrogate people, I'm flying solo in Harrogate for work tonight, staying in the Yorkshire Hotel. Should I venture out to eat and have a beer? Can anyone recommend somewhere relaxed and welcoming to table for one types?

Probably a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know anywhere taking on new NHS patients currently? Or anywhere nearby that is.

Thanks!

Does anyone recommend a walk or run by name I can look up from Harrogate to Knaresborough that's primarily off-path and away from main roads? I did find one called the Beryl Burton (as a cycling enthusiast I'm familiar with the great BB). We'll be visiting in early Dec. and although I view myself as local-ish, I'll reluctantly be a tourist having not lived in my home county/country for decades since childhood. Thanks

We recently moved to the area and are still yet to find a decent Indian takeaway. We moved from the Leeds/Bradford area and in hindsight it seems we we're spoilt for choice. We've been slowly working our way through the options here, as you do, but they've all been pretty disappointing so far. What are people's thoughts on this - anyone have any recommendations?

Hi, I hope someone can help. My husband was on a cycling trip in September and he and a few others stayed at Harefield Hall. On return home to Northern Ireland we discovered he had left behind a pair of cycling bib shorts that I had recently saved to buy him for a birthday gift.

I see Harefield Hall has permanently closed, I have rang many many times, sent a letter, written emails but know reply.

I would really love to try to get shorts back. Anyone have any ideas how I can get in touch with the owners ?? Thanks

I have an undercut with top hair upto below my shoulders. I am growing out of this and don't want to have a high-maintenance haircut anymore. I did this style to take away from the roundness of my face. I need an expert opinion to choose my next haircut based on the face shape. I want to have a hairstylist who can confidently recommend for my preferences. I am willing to put in the money but it has to be worth it. If you have any salons or barbers with someone like this there, please recommend them.

I’m a sole trader of a small business I run on the side and I’m wondering if anyone uses any accountants in the Harrogate area that they’ve had success/a good experience with? Any recommendations are most welcome!

Hi everyone.

I was recently made redundant from a job working 100% from home in Harrogate.

Unfortunately I cannot find a replacement job in Leeds and the best I can find is in central Manchester, but I would have to go into the office two days per week.

The company is willing to pay travel and a night in a basic hotel which is good.

But looking online I'm reading horror stories about travel.

The M62 sounds horrendous, especially over winter, so I think driving might be out.

Fastest trains from Leeds to Manchester is TransPennine Express but it seems they are notoriously unreliable?

Am I insane for even considering this?

Or has anyone managed to make "hybrid working" in Manchester from Harrogate work for them?

Really appreciate your thoughts as this is really difficult decision.

Financially I can't afford to be too picky, but equally I don't want to sign up to something super-stressful

Hi all,

Looking for some recommendations on a local home security system company.

I'm not looking for anything outrageous, just a standard alarm covering downstairs doors and windows. Maybe the garage too. I had a quote from one company just for the basic package covering the downstairs, £900-£1000..

Any pointers appreciated!

High its me again,

The rim of our washing machine has a rip in it, any chance anyone know who can fix it up. Would it be worth ordering one in advance? Would appreciate any help as word of mouth is always best ;).

Hi all

Honest opinions of the Kingsley estates, are they nice to live on?

We’re considering buying on what was Kingsley Meadows, and absolutely aren’t judgemental about social housing (we currently have some behind us and have had more issues with the private rented next door!) But there seem to be a few all for sale near each other, just want to check there’s not something we don’t know 😅

As above - can anyone recommend somewhere for a good skin fade? Have tried Devonshire gents which was poor and Barber & Jack (two of their barbers) neither of which were brilliant (although I will say Barber and Jacks weren’t bad haircuts - just not skin fades. The same can’t be said for Devonshire gents unfortunately).

Hi does anyone know if the stray is having a bonfire tomorrow or if it has been cancelled permanently

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. I'm by Jo means a seamstress and want to practise using a machine. Sewing machines are obviously very expensive and I only use it sporadically so buying is not an option. And the top I want to alter is not worth taking to a tailor. Is there anywhere like a library that would let people use a sewing machine? Or something similar? Thanks

I know they are all pretty good but would be grateful for some thoughts to help choose between oatlands, willow tree, st peters and western.
