Dozens more rail services have been cancelled today by one of the North's under-fire train operators. TransPennine Express announced late last night that 34 services would be cancelled in full today (December 6).
A further 12 services are only running for part of their usual journeys. They are the latest in a string of cancellations or changes to be announced by the company overnight, with more than 1,000 services affected in this way since November 2.
However, a 'loophole' means such changes do not have to be reported in official performance figures, because they were announced before 10pm on the previous day. Passengers in Manchester are affected by several of the cancellations and changes today.
