‘Check before you travel’ plea ahead of train timetable changes

Railway timetables across the country are being updated on Sunday, May 17.

Northern – the UK’s second-largest train operator – says most of its services will remain unchanged, but there are some amendments aimed at improving reliability.

Sam MacDougall, the company’s operations director, says: “We’re tweaking and fine tuning a few services to improve reliability, after listening to feedback from passengers.

“There won’t be widespread changes, but the timings of some services will be altered by a few minutes, so we are advising passengers to check before they travel.”

Details of changes can be found on the Northern website, at northernrailway.co.uk/timetables/timetable-change
