Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “Unfortunately, customers travelling immediately before and after the Christmas bank holidays should expect disruption.

“This is due to limited train crew availability in some areas. We strongly advise customers to ‘check before you travel’ on those days.”

Passengers are reminded that services will finish earlier than usual on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve over the holiday period. Operators are also expecting that some services may be subject to cancellations or changes to planned timetables.
