Train services run by TransPennine Express (TPE) will be brought under Government control due to "continuous cancellations", Transport Secretary Mark Harper said.
The Cabinet minister has decided not to extend or renew TPE's contract, bringing services in to the Department for Transport's Operator of Last Resort (OLR) from May 28.
TPE operates a number of services from Newcastle, transporting passengers to and from the city from locations along the North TransPennine Route including, York, Huddersfield, Liverpool and Edinburgh.
