Northern rail passengers are set to enjoy greater convenience thanks to a new collaboration with LockerQuest, the experts in site commercialisation. The partnership will see YEEP! self-service parcel lockers installed across Northern locations, making parcel collection and delivery quicker and more accessible for commuters and travellers.
The rollout of YEEP! parcel lockers will provide customers with a convenient way to collect and send parcels while on the move.
To date, 50 solar-powered YEEP! lockers have been installed across train operator Northern’s stations in the north of England, allowing customers to pick up and drop off packages to fit in with their travel plans.
Stations where you can find a YEEP! locker include; Rochdale, St Helen’s Central, Chorley, Wakefield Kirkgate and Crewe. Further stations are currently being reviewed with a view to see additional YEEP! lockers being installed across the network.
Northern is the UK’s second-largest train operator, running 2,650 daily services connecting over 500 stations throughout the North of England.
The strategic partnership between the rail operator and parcel locker location experts LockerQuest aims to transform station facilities into multi-purpose community hubs.
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, Commercial and Customer Director at Northern, said: “Northern stations serve local communities and are perfect places to offer the popular services which people require.
“Thanks to our partnership with LockerQuest we can offer customers the convenience of combining travelling with collecting or dropping off their parcels.
“LockerQuest have been great partners so we are pleased to offer lockers to the thousands of customers who visit these stations every day, forming a basis for the development of our partnership in the future.”
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.
“By positioning secure lockers at Northern stations, 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.
“With Northern’s impressive network serving approximately 100 million passenger journeys annually, our developing partnership enhances our service footprint for retail and carrier partners across the North of England.”
LockerQuest’s mission is to unlock the value of underused space by delivering end-to-end solutions that create guaranteed income for partners, support locker network growth and improve everyday convenience for communities.
