TransPennine Express (TPE) train services will be cut from Monday as the operator makes temporary amendments to its timetable.
Routes between Liverpool and Manchester, Preston, Lancaster, Edinburgh and Glasgow will be hit by the temporary timetable, which will come into force from next Monday (September 12). The operator has cited "the ongoing impact of higher-than-normal sickness levels and ongoing industrial relations issues" as the reason for changing its timetable.
From Monday, the TPE Anglo-Scottish route will be reduced from 40 services a day to 31. Among those services removed are trains from Liverpool Lime Street to Preston and Glasgow Central to Lime Street.
