Reduced rail services across York and North Yorkshire from today

Rail passengers across York and North Yorkshire are facing a reduced service from today.

Train companies are introducing amended timetables in response to the national lockdown.

There'll be less trains running - people who do need to travel are being asked to plan ahead and stick to coronavirus guidelines while travelling.

People who are travelling should maintain social distancing where possible, wash hands before and after travel and, unless exempt, wear a face covering at stations and on trains.

Tricia Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Northern, said: “We will introduce an amended timetable that reflects the third national lockdown with a reduction in services across the network.

“We will focus on delivering services during the morning and evening peaks so those who need to travel can get to where they’re needed and have the space to maintain social distancing.

"We're therefore calling on people to check carefully before they travel and behave responsibly on our trains. In the meantime, we’ll continue with our programme of enhanced cleaning at our trains and stations to keep our customers as safe as possible and to reduce the risk of transmission while travelling with Northern.”
