Overview
- Northern will introduce its updated timetable on May 17 as part of the routine national change that happens each May and December.
- Most trains keep their current times, with select services moving a few minutes earlier to help trains arrive on time.
- In the North West, adjustments affect Clitheroe–Rochdale, Colne–Preston, Buxton–Manchester, and routes from Chinley, New Mills Central, and Rose Hill Marple into Manchester.
- The Bransty Tunnel remains closed between Whitehaven and Carlisle, so trains run on either side with a replacement bus linking Corkickle and Whitehaven.
- Sunday patterns continue to vary by line, with more direct Newcastle–Whitby trains and all-stations calling between Sheffield and Lincoln, while some routes retain a reduced Sunday timetable.
