NORTHERN is advising people travelling this Easter bank holiday weekend to check before they travel and be flexible with their journeys.
Trains are expected to be very busy between Friday, April 15 and Monday, April 18 across the Northern network.
Tony Baxter, regional director at Northern, said: “We know the bank holiday provides a great opportunity for people to get out, explore, and enjoy all the North of England has to offer.
“We’re doing all we can to prepare for the weekend and are also asking our customers to plan ahead, expect services to be busy, allow extra time for journeys and, where possible, to avoid travelling during the busiest times.”
For Northern’s timetables – and the planned engineering work, go to northernrailway.co.uk. Train times can also be checked via National Rail Enquiries.
