🕓Temporary timetable changes are in place on some routes across our network this week due to autumn conditions. 🍂Slippery rails mean that services need to run at a reduced speed, which can cause congestion.

There will be fewer trains than normal on these routes on Thursday 5 November: - Newcastle to Ashington in both directions Some stations on the following routes will have fewer trains than normal on Thursday 5 November and Friday 6 November: - Between Leeds and York via Harrogate - Trains will not stop at either Headingley or Weeton, in both directions. - Between Manchester Piccadilly and Chester - Some trains will not stop at Ashley, Mobberley, Cuddington, Delamere and Mouldsworth in both directions. - Between Manchester Piccadilly and New Mills Central - Some trains will not stop at Ashburys and Brinnington, Belle Vue and Ryder Brow in both directions. The following changes are expected to be in place until Sunday 8 November: - Between Sheffield and Scarborough - Trains will run express between Hull and Bridlington in both directions; stations between Hull and Bridlington will still be served by York to Bridlington trains. - Between Hull and Halifax - Trains will start and terminate at Bradford Interchange.
