TransPennine Express response to RMT strike suspension

Rail operator TransPennine Express has responded to the announcement from RMT that strike action planned for Saturday 5, Monday 7 and Wednesday 9 November has been suspended. 

A spokesperson for TransPennine Express said: “Whilst we are pleased the strike action by RMT has been suspended, the very late notice of the suspension means we will have to continue to run amended timetables on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (5, 6, 7 and 8 November).

"On Saturday and Monday we will only operate services between Huddersfield and York, and we continue to ask customers to plan ahead carefully and to only travel if journeys are absolutely essential on these dates."

“We are now working on the timetable for Wednesday 9 November and will provide details of the services we will be able to operate as soon as possible.”

Full details of TransPennine Express' amended timetables are available via the website.
