Rail passengers braced for more delays as strike action and engineering works continue

Passengers are braced for more delays as further engineering work and strike action are set to disrupt journeys.

Rail operator TransPennine Express (TPE) will only be running a very limited service on the day and is recommending that people avoid travel and instead make their journeys either side of Sunday.

Anyone that needs to make an essential journey by rail should plan carefully, check before and allow plenty of extra time to travel as any services that do run will be very busy.

Bikes will not be permitted on-board TPE services on Sunday. Information on the services the train company is intending to run on Sunday can be found at: tpexpress.co.uk/travel-updates/strike

Network Rail is carrying out engineering work between Carlisle and Edinburgh/Glasgow on Saturday and Sunday, with a replacement bus service running between Carlisle, Lockerbie Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Rail, Transport and Maritime (RMT) strike action is also planned to take place on Sundays up to and including June 5, as well as on Saturday, June 4.

Kathryn O’Brien, customer experience director for TransPennine Express said: “We are recommending that customers avoid travel again this Sunday because of the planned strike and make their journeys either side of this instead.”

To help customers get where they need to be on Sunday, TPE has arranged ticket acceptance with several other train operators: Northern, Avanti West Coast (between Wigan and Carlisle), CrossCountry (between Leeds and Edinburgh),  Lumo (between Newcastle and Edinburgh), LNER (on Sunday only between York and Edinburgh), ScotRail, Hull Trains (between Hull and Doncaster) and Transport for Wales services.
