☀️Hot weather is expected across the UK this week, which may affect some train services and the comfort of your journey.
There are no planned changes to our timetable in reaction to the weather as it currently stands. However, high temperatures can impact the railway and short-notice changes, including service alterations or cancellations, may be required.
We strongly recommend you check your journey before you travel, including any connections with other operators as they may have introduced amended timetables.
Please carry water with you while travelling on the network and wait for your train in the shade or a station waiting room if available.
If you feel unwell at the station, please speak to staff for help and avoid boarding the train. If you start to feel unwell on a train, please speak to one of our onboard team.
🎫From Wednesday, 12 August to Friday, 14 August, customers with a ticket for a cancelled TransPennine Express service can travel on an alternative @northernassist service. Likewise, Northern customers can use TransPennine Express services.
If you can't travel on the train you planned to travel on, due to a cancellation, you can also use an @EastMidRailway or @LNER service to get to your destination within two hours either side of the time of your cancelled service.
If you have a ticket booked for travel on a TransPennine Express train on the affected routes on Thursday, 13 August, but are unable to travel due to the impact of the extreme weather, you can instead use your ticket on Friday, 14 and Saturday, 15 August.

⚠️ Customers travelling to #Wembley on Saturday 23 May are advised that services are expected to be extremely busy⚠️
🛠️ Due to planned engineering improvement works over the Bank Holiday weekend, there will be no train services running between #Northallerton and #York in either direction on Saturday 23 May.
🚌 This means journeys will involve limited rail replacement buses and there will be no onward rail connections, meaning additional rail services cannot operate.
🚆 Trains from #York and #Leeds towards #London are also expected to be very busy before 1130, with return services from London expected to be busiest after 1900.
🎫 Customers with tickets are still able to travel but should plan ahead, allow extra time for their journey and be prepared for busy services throughout the day.
✖️ Customers without a ticket are advised to make alternative arrangements.
