A warning has been issued to TransPennine Express (TPE) passengers ahead of a government takeover of the train operator.
The company, which runs services between Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and parts of Scotland will be brought under government control from May 28 following months of cancellations. Transport Secretary Mark Harper said last week: "This is not a silver bullet and will not instantaneously fix a number of challenges being faced."
The rail operator has now confirmed its final timetable change which will come into force on Sunday, May 21, with passengers being warned to check in advance if they will be affected by the changes.
