TransPennine Express train strikes

Those planning to get away via will be faced with a full weekend of TransPennine Express strike action.

A 17th straight week of strike action by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union is set to take place again on Saturday and Sunday (June 4 and 5), causing disruption to trains across the North and into Scotland.

TransPennine are urging people to plan ahead and avoid travel where possible.

With only a small number of trains running on the day, TPE is strongly recommending that customers avoid travel on their services and instead, make their journey the day before or after.

Leeds Bradford Airport queues and staff shortages

Anyone planning on jetting off for a well earned weekend away will have to contend with the continued queues and staff shortages at Leeds Bradford Airport.

Holidaymakers have been left frustrated in recent months with queuing out the terminal building.

It comes as airports across the country continue to struggle dealing with the rise in passenger numbers returning to pre-pandemic levels.

"Avoid Leeds-Bradford at all costs, this feels more like a cow market than an airport." tweeted one frustrated flyer.

Others reported queues at 'half a mile long'.
