Chris Nutton, Major Projects and TRU Director at TransPennine Express, said: "While Network Rail are carrying out the improvement works between Leeds and York, TransPennine Express will operate an amended timetable on our north route services and divert trains between Leeds and York, along with Leeds and Selby, to keep customers on the move.

"This diversionary route will increase journey times by about 20 minutes. We'd like to advise customers to check before they travel."
