People are urged not to travel over the jubilee weekend as rail strikes are set to continue.

TransPennine Express said the industrial action by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union were likely to significantly impact services across the north and Scotland.

Engineering work is also planned on the railways over the jubilee weekend.

The rail firm said while it was running amended timetables over the weekend, it would be a limited service and potential passengers should seek alternative transport.

Kathryn O’Brien, customer experience director for TransPennine Express, said: “We are saddened that ongoing strikes will mean we are unable to provide a full service for customers over such a special weekend, when celebrations will be taking place across the UK.

“With strike action planned for both Saturday and Sunday, coupled with major engineering work, our advice for customers is not to travel by train, and anyone heading to an event should seek alternative transport.

“Major engineering work by Network Rail will also mean changes for customers travelling across our North route, and we are calling on them to plan ahead and check their journeys.”

To support those making essential journeys over the weekend, ticket acceptance will be in place on Saturday and Sunday with Northern, Avanti West Coast (between Wigan and Glasgow/Edinburgh), CrossCountry (between Leeds and Edinburgh), East Midlands Railway, Lumo (between Newcastle and Edinburgh), LNER (on Sunday only between York and Edinburgh), ScotRail (between Motherwell and Glasgow Central), Hull Trains (between Hull and Doncaster) and Transport for Wales (between Stockport, Newton-le-Willows, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport) services.

Ticket acceptance is also in place for FirstBus services in West Yorkshire for customers who may need to use a bus service to complete a rail journey. Some exclusions will apply and full details are available via the TPE website.
