Northern Rail reiterates ban on e-scooters and similar devices on trains due to fire risks.

Northern Rail has reinforced its ban on e-scooters, hoverboards, and other battery-powered devices like e-skateboards and e-unicycles on trains and stations due to the risk of fire from overheating lithium batteries. This ban, in place since 2022, does not apply to mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs. Passengers attempting to bring these banned devices may be denied travel and removed from the station.
