Liverpool is bracing for significant rail disruption over the bank holiday weekend with operator TransPennine Express not running any services to or from Lime Street due to strike action.
The operator's timetable will also be limited today, June 5, due to planned engineering works. TransPennine Express (TPE) is therefore urging its customers not to travel over the course of the Jubilee weekend, with limited services across the north being put on for those making essential journeys.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at TransPennine Express will walk out on Saturday and Sunday in a long-running dispute over pay. According to BusinessLive, the RMT said TPE was refusing the conductors’ request to increase pay for staff coming in on their days off and Sundays and had offered more money to drivers.
