Northern train operator to remove a 'small number' of Whitby services
Northern says the changes will be introduced as part of a new schedule next month
Train operator Northern says a small number of services will be removed on the Whitby to Middlesbrough line from next month.
It says it will be introducing its new timetable on Sunday 15th May that will focus on 'delivering reliability and punctuality for customers.'
On the majority of routes, Northern says it will maintain service levels established in December last year and some routes will see increased seat capacity and service uplifts.
Kerry Peters, regional director at Northern said: “Customers are at the heart of everything we do, and the new timetables are designed to deliver high levels of reliability.”
“We’ve made decisions about our timetables based on the levels of resource we have available and prioritising the routes with the highest customer demand, and which support the region’s economic growth.”
Kerry added: “We fully understand the role we play in keeping people on the move and I am asking our customers to familiarise themselves with the new timetables, and to check carefully before any journeys to ensure their journeys go as smoothly as possible.”
Full details of the new timetables can be found online via the Northern website or at National Rail Enquiries.
