Rail passengers warned no trains between Leeds and York over Easter weekend
Rail passengers are being warned there will be no trains between Leeds and York via Garforth over the Easter weekend.
Replacement bus services will be running between Leeds and York, and York and Selby.
Buses will also replace trains between Huddersfield and Lockwood/Penistone as well over the weekend.
It comes as train operator Northern warns that most services across its network will be running normally this Easter, helping people to get out and enjoy the long weekend.
Easter is traditionally one of the key times of year for the railway to carry out essential upgrades and maintenance, meaning some services will be amended or reduced.
However, Northern says disruption will be limited and alternative travel options will be in place where needed.
Most services will run to normal timetables on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, with 'off-peak' fares available all day - making it an ideal time for a day out by rail.
Matt Rice, chief operating officer at Northern said: “The good news for customers is that most of our trains will be running as normal this Easter, so people can continue to rely on us to get where they need to be.
“As always during a bank holiday, there will be some changes to services while essential engineering work takes place, but we’re working hard to keep disruption to a minimum and keep people moving.
“We’re asking customers to check before they travel and allow a little extra time for their journey, so they can enjoy a smooth and stress-free Easter by rail.”
Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with 2,650 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
