Rail passengers using Northern services can now access convenient self-service parcel collection and delivery lockers thanks to a partnership with site commercialisation experts LockerQuest.
To date, 50 solar-powered YEEP! lockers have been installed across train operator Northern’s stations, allowing customers to pick up and drop off packages to fit in with their travel plans.
Participating stations include; Rochdale, St Helen’s Central, Chorley, Wakefield Kirkgate and Crewe. Others are currently being reviewed with a view to see additional lockers being installed across the network.
Northern Rail is the UK’s second-largest train operator, running 2,650 daily services connecting over 500 stations.
LockerQuest helps property owners generate additional revenue by bringing lockers to unused or underutilised space to increase customer footfall, managing the process from surveys through to installation and ongoing management.
Alex Hornby, the rail operator’s Commercial and Customer Director, said: “Northern stations serve local communities and are perfect places to offer the popular services which people require.”
Jonathan White, LockerQuest CEO, said: “Rail networks such as Northern’s serve as vital connection points for communities so installing smart lockers extends that connectivity into the world of commerce and logistics.
“Customers benefit from the convenience of accessible and automated facilities on their travel routes so passengers can expect to see many more facilities installed throughout 2026.”
