TransPennine Express

Rail passengers are asked not to travel on TransPennine Express services on Sunday.

Strike action is set to take place by members of the Rail, Martime and Transport union and only a limited train service will be in operation.

Those planning on using services to travel to a major event are urged to seek alternative travel.

Engineering work by Network Rail will also be taking place between Carlisle and Edinburgh/Glasgow on Saturday and Sunday, with a replacement bus service running between Carlisle, Lockerbie Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Customers who need to make an essential journey by train should plan very carefully and check the services TtransPennine Express is intending to run on the day.

Bikes will not be permitted on board its services on the strike day and anyone that does travel any available service should check before they travel and allow plenty of extra time as these trains will be very busy.

Kathryn O’Brien, customer experience director for TransPennine Express, said: “While we are planning to run some trains on the day, this will only be a very small amount and we are asking customers to avoid travel unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Ticket acceptance has been put in place with other train operators for Sunday which are: Northern, Avanti West Coast (between Wigan and Carlisle), CrossCountry (between Leeds and Edinburgh), East Midlands Railway, 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.
