Changes to Northern timetables

NORTHERN HAS announced a set of new timetables to help commuters returning to work following further relaxation of lockdown restrictions.

More services are operating in the traditional morning and evening peaks from this week with a focus on getting people to and from the region’s major towns and cities.

Regional director Steve Hopkinson said: “Since the start of the pandemic, we have amended our timetables to provide the best possible service for key workers and those making necessary journeys.

“Now, with more people returning to work, we are re-introducing some peak time services to help keep the north on the move. “

All rail travellers, except those to whom exceptions apply, must continue to wear face coverings when travelling and observe social distancing where possible, the company said.
