MAJOR CHANGES AT TRANSPENINE EXPRESS

TransPennine Express customers see hundreds more seats on trains and services across the Pennines running every 15 minutes, as the operator restores services while continuing to run a timetable customers can depend on.

Across the TPE network, there is an increase in seats for customers of 12%, which is around 1300 more every day. Other major changes include:

• 50 trains will run each way, every day, between Liverpool and Manchester stations (Monday to Saturday, with fewer services on Sundays). This means an increase to two services every hour between Liverpool and Manchester Victoria. These trains will form a halfhourly express service calling only at one intermediate station (Newton-le-Willows and Lea Green alternately).

• The majority of services operating between Liverpool and Cleethorpes will be six-carriage trains, increasing the number of seats. This service also stops at Sheffield, Doncaster and Manchester.

• Four express trains an hour will run between Manchester Victoria and Leeds, once again providing fast, frequent and reliable trains – as well as increased services across TPE’s network

We urge customers to check before they travel in case there are any changes to their services.
