Rail passengers in the north have been warned to expect "significant" changes to services after Christmas and into the new year.
Rail operator TransPennine Express has advised customers across the north and into Scotland to plan ahead because of planned Network Rail engineering work. Work to the infrastructure will impact services between December 27 and January 2 across different parts of the network.
There will be significant changes to services with fewer trains running than usual and rail replacement buses in place on some routes. Those with plans to travel by rail during the week after Christmas are strongly urged to plan ahead, check their journey very carefully and allow extra time as journeys will take longer.
