TransPennine Express (TPE) is asking customers across the North and into Scotland to only travel if their journey is essential across key routes on Friday 23 June.
Operational issues mean a reduced number of services will be running on some routes throughout the day. These routes include:
Liverpool/Manchester – Newcastle
Liverpool- Hull
Manchester Airport- Saltburn
Manchester- Scarborough
York- Scarborough
Manchester- Huddersfield
Huddersfield- Leeds
Newcastle- Edinburgh
Customers who need to make essential journeys are asked to plan ahead, allow extra time for travel and, where possible, to use alternative transport.
Chris Jackson, Interim Managing Director at TransPennine Express, said: “Unfortunately, operational issues mean we will be running a reduced number of services on Friday 23 June.
“We know this is frustrating news for our customers, and we are sorry for the impact it will have on people’s plans.
“Customers are advised to only travel if absolutely essential on affected routes, and anyone making an essential journey should plan ahead, check very carefully before travelling and allow extra time, as short notice delays and further on-the-day cancellations are possible.”
