Continued strike action by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union is set to cause major disruption to train services across the North and into Scotland this Sunday 29^th May.  

Schools across the North and into Scotland are being invited to try the train on their next trip out, as TransPennine Express (TPE) launches a special discount and easier way of booking travel for groups of pupils.

• This morning’s 6.16am TransPennine Express (TPE) service from Edinburgh became the first passenger train to stop at Reston in more than 50 years

• TPE’s Nova 1 (802212) now carries the name St Abb’s Head to cement links to the local community

• Matthew Golton, Managing Director of TransPennine Express called the arrival of the first service a landmark moment for Reston and TPE

• Transport Minister, Jenny Gilruth MSP, who travelled on one of the first TPE services into the new station said that the investment will change the lives of the people of Reston for the better

Customers in the North East can now benefit from a new rail link between Saltburn and Manchester Airport, providing direct travel between cities including York, Leeds and Manchester.

TransPennine Express (TPE) hosted a coffee morning at Huddersfield Station this morning to help raise awareness of loneliness during Mental Health Awareness Week.
