Rail operator TransPennine Express is advising customers to check their journeys and allow extra time to travel as it brings in an amended timetable.
The revised timetable, which will be implemented from Monday, January 10, will mean changes to services across all its routes and services reduced.
The firm said the change of timetable was to provide a greater level of certainty for customers.
It added: “The amended plan is being brought in due to disruption being caused by increased levels of sickness and the ongoing impact of COVID and the Omicron variant, as well as some industrial relations issues.”
The following services are affected:
- Glasgow Central – Manchester Airport, three services per day in each direction
- Liverpool Lime Street/Oxenholme – Glasgow Central, two services per day in each direction
Matthew Golton, managing director of TransPennine Express, said: “While we are disappointed to be making these changes and reducing services, our priority is keeping people moving and providing a greater level of certainty for our customers.
“We are sorry for any disruption this may cause to journeys and call on our customers to allow additional time for travel and to check carefully –for any changes to train times.
“We will continue to regularly review these changes in line with the current situation.”
