Northern timetable set to change this month
Northern will change its timetable on 14 September. The company says it is adapting to the changing rail industry in the wake of the pandemic.
Train operator Northern has announced it will change its timetable on September 14.
The company said the revised timetable will see more services in many areas and the extension of operating hours in others compared with the current situation.
However, a handful of routes will see a reduction in services.
Steve Hopkinson, regional director at Northern, said:
“The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on society and the railway has not been immune from that.
"With limited resources, the timetables we are set to introduce in September reflect the new normal for Northern and have been designed to provide as many services as possible, at the times our customers need them.
“We have brought in as many additional services as possible with the resource we have available and have prioritised routes and times where there is the most significant demand. We will do all we can to reintroduce further services when it is possible and appropriate to do so.”
