Overview
- Engineering work running from December 27 to January 25 brings amended timetables, diversions and rail‑replacement buses, particularly on the Leeds–York/Selby route via Micklefield.
- Northern urges passengers to check before they travel, with most New Year’s Eve services following weekday schedules but finishing around 9pm.
- On New Year’s Day, trains start later and then follow Thursday timetables except in the North East, where only the Whitby special services will operate.
- Two limited-stop New Year’s Day trains in each direction will run between Darlington, Middlesbrough and Whitby, supported by community and council partners.
- Network Rail warns replacement vehicles may be busier than usual and to allow extra journey time, with CrossCountry and TransPennine Express services also affected by the works.
