TransPennine Express (TPE) is asking customers to plan carefully ahead of planned strike action this weekend.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) has announced industrial action by its TPE conductors on four consecutive Sundays, from 00:01 – 23:59 on 13, 20, and 27 February and 6 March.
In response, TPE have released an amended timetable for this Sunday, 13 February, that will see a significant reduction in available services. And we’re advising customers not to travel on the majority of routes and to plan carefully if journeys are necessary.
TPE will be operating a very limited service on the following routes on Sunday 13 February:
Edinburgh – Carlisle
Timetable is available to view here
Manchester – York, via Leeds and Huddersfield
York – Scarborough
Timetable is available to view here
Manchester – Sheffield
Doncaster – Cleethorpes

Ticket acceptance is in place with the following operators until the dates specified when there is strike action:
Northern – Until Monday 7th March (excluding Sunday 20th February)
Across the network
Avanti West Coast – Until Monday 7th March
Between Wigan and Glasgow Central/Edinburgh
East Midlands Railway – Until Sunday 13th February

If you’re planning to travel on a day affected by RMT strikes you should check for updates up to the last minute as services may be subject to short notice changes. You should also allow extra time for journeys as the services we are able to operate will be far busier than normal.
