Train services run by failing operator TransPennine Express will be brought under Government control due to "continuous cancellations".
The Transport Secretary Mark Harper made the announcement today, saying he will not extend or renew the operator's contract when it expires on 28 May.
The Department for Transport (DfT) said the decision followed "months of significant disruption and regular cancellations" across the network serving the North.
