Northern announces changes to train timetables from Sunday, May 18
Northern has announced changes to its train timetables from Sunday, May 18. The new timetables will see changes to some key routes and additional services across the network. The arrival of additional electric trains into Northern's fleet means that customers travelling between Leeds and Skipton/Doncaster, and between Blackpool and Manchester Airport, will benefit from longer trains with extra capacity. Major engineering work as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade at Huddersfield station will result in the Leeds to Huddersfield, and Bradford to Huddersfield, services being replaced by an hourly Northern service from August 30 onwards. Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director for Northern, said: "Customers will really start to feel the benefit that these extra carriages will bring, with more seats available to take advantage of on some of our busiest routes across the network. "We've also been able to reinstate some early morning and late evening journeys that have previously been lost in places as a result of long-term engineering work coming to a finish, which is fantastic news. "Whilst the majority of our train times will be similar to what they are now, I'd still encourage customers to plan ahead and check before you travel." To view the updated timetables, please visit
