Hull Trains cancels services for a THIRD time in 12 months
The railway company has confirmed services will be suspended from Saturday.
Hull Trains is suspending its services for the third time in just 12 months, after England introduced another coronavirus lockdown.
It echoes moves made by the company in March and November last year- when the first and second lockdowns began.
From midnight on Saturday 9th January, services to London will stop running.
Louise Cheeseman, managing director of Hull Trains said: “We are again in a position where it is the right decision for the business to temporarily suspend all our direct rail services to London.
“The travel restrictions impact our income from ticket sales significantly, so hibernating allows us to protect the business for longer so we can return as a sustainable rail operator once restrictions ease.”
The company has been running a reduced rail service since March 2020 because of the pandemic.
