RE: TransPennine Express
TPE have published the changes to the timetable for December. The main change is that the Liverpool Lime Street to Hull service is back, hourly at xx54 from Lime Street. The Liverpool to Newcastle service reverts to xx24 past the hour. The Hull service requires six diagrams three of which will be Class 185s and three will be Class 802.
The Manchester Airport to Saltburn service changes with fewer trains running through to Saltburn, most terminating at Redcar Central.
The recently introduced York to Manchester Piccadilly via Castleford and Wakefield Kirkgate becomes hourly. This service stops at all stations between Castleford and Stalybridge. Castleford Station has been totally rebuilt with Platform 2 re-opening after many years.
With the release of 185s from the Hull service these will be reallocated to the South Transpennine Liverpool to Cleethorpes service to make more six car trains.
There are no changes to the West Coast Anglo Scottish services.
