Northern passengers are being reminded that some train times will change on Sunday, 17 May, when railway timetables across the country will be updated.
The vast majority of Northern services will remain unchanged, but the operator has altered timetables for several routes to improve punctuality and reflect feedback from passengers.
There are several tools available to help customers plan their journeys:
- Northern app and website: Access real-time updates, purchase tickets, and receive notifications about service alterations.
- National Rail Enquiries journey planner: Check for timetable changes, engineering works and plan journeys.
Sam MacDougall, Northern's Operations Director, said:
"We’re tweaking and fine tuning a few services this month to improve reliability, after listening to feedback from passengers.
“We’re also introducing new Sunday services, which will run between Whitby and Newcastle and call at a range of destinations along the Durham Coast.
“There won’t be widespread changes, but the timings of some services will be altered by a few minutes so we’re advising passengers to check before they travel.”
Full details of all of the changes taking place across the Northern network can be found on Northern's website.
