Due to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak, TPE have been experiencing staff shortages. Unfortunately, this is expected to increase in the near future.
They anticipate that an increasing number of their services may be altered, delayed or cancelled for all or part of their journey as more staff are affected.
Tomorrow, Thursday 19th March a number of services on the local stopping services between Manchester Piccadilly and Huddersfield and other routes will not run.
If you are travelling, TPE strongly advise you check the status of your train before you travel- all alterations will be detailed on https://www.journeycheck.com/tpexpress/ on the day.
On Thursday 19th March the following services will not run:
Huddersfield to Manchester Pic (local services)
0653, 0854, 1053, 1253, 1453, 1653, 1853, 2053, 2246
Manchester Pic to Huddersfield (local services)
0600, 0800, 1000, 1158, 1358, 1558, 1800, 1958, 2158
As TPE adapt to this unprecedented position, and as a result of the reduction in demand for travel and the knock-on effect that the situation is having upon the industry there are discussions taking place between TPE and other train operating companies and Transport for the North about planned service reductions as the Coronavirus outbreak continues.
Advice from HM Government is for everyone to avoid unnecessary travel – please consider if you really need to make your journey.
