Two-day travel warning issued for rail passengers ahead of Christmas

Train passengers heading across the Pennines for Christmas are advised to plan ahead, as major engineering works are shutting down railway lines between Manchester and Leeds until December 24. This impacts all routes via Huddersfield, with no TransPennine Express services running between Manchester and Leeds during this time. Many services that usually travel through Huddersfield will now terminate there, and some trains from Newcastle, Scarborough, and York will also end earlier in Yorkshire.
