From a breakfast brioche bun with pigs in blankets to a full turkey dinner or vegan nutless roast, there is something for everyone to enjoy onboard TransPennine Express during the holiday season as the train operator launches its new festive menu.   

TransPennine Express (TPE) is spreading festive cheer across its network with the unwrapping of a special Christmas train, designed to raise awareness and support for Cash for Kids’ Mission Christmas appeal.

TransPennine Express (TPE) is giving customers the option to change their travel plans over the weekend as the train operator has been forced to cancel services running north of Carlisle due to Storm Bert tomorrow (Saturday 23 November).  

A new blue plaque unveiled at a popular seaside TransPennine Express station pays homage to one of railway’s founding fathers, known as the ‘Railway King’ – but who is now largely forgotten.  

TransPennine Express (TPE) customers will see hundreds more seats on trains and services across the Pennines running every 15 minutes from this December, as the operator restores services while continuing to run a timetable customers can depend on.
