TPE customers advised not to travel tomorrow as Storm Floris set to cause disruption across the rail network

TransPennine Express (TPE) has warned customers not to travel tomorrow (Monday 4 August) as due Storm Floris some services will not be running.

TPE services will not operate between Carlisle and Glasgow Central or Edinburgh as well as between Newcastle and Edinburgh.

There may also be delays on services between Liverpool Lime Street and Carlisle and Manchester Airport and Carlisle.

Andrew McClements, Customer Experience and Transformation Director at TPE, said: “Storm Floris will cause widespread disruption across the network tomorrow, affecting all operators in the region. 

“As such, we are advising passengers not to travel and to consider whether their journey is necessary.

“Customers who have already bought tickets for travel on Monday can use those tickets on services on Tuesday.

“Alternatively, if customers are unable to travel, they can apply for refunds from their point of purchase."
