Northern and TransPennine Express have released their new train timetables
Rail passengers in Leeds are set to be impacted by new timetables.
Alongside the rest of the rail industry, train operators Northern and TransPennine Express (TPE) will introduce new timetables for passengers from Sunday, May 17.
Most of Northern's services will see no change in May, with some targeted adjustments taking place to help with punctuality and reflecting feedback from customers. Meanwhile, TPE will add eight new services, roughly a train an hour, between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport, throughout the night.
What changes will impact Leeds directly?
- Northern: On Sundays, trains between Leeds and Lincoln, via Sheffield, will now call at all stations along the route.
- TransPennine: TPE will introduce an additional weekday call at Dewsbury on the 08.05am Leeds to Manchester Piccadilly service.
What other changes will take place?
- Northern: From October 4, Northern be changing some train times between Sheffield and Huddersfield to help services run more smoothly in autumn. Services will have additional time built in between Huddersfield and Denby Dale.
- TransPennine: TPE is set to run two extra services a day, August 3 until September 4, to benefit customers during the Edinburgh Fringe.
