Under-fire train operator TransPennine Express cancelled the equivalent of one in six services across most of March, new figures showed today.
The statistics follow renewed calls from Greater Manchester and the north for TPE to be stripped of its contract when it expires at the end of May.
The Manchester Evening News revealed in February that the train operator cancelled almost a quarter of all its trains in a month, including more than 1,000 the night before they were due to run.
