Passengers are being encouraged to check their travel arrangements when the Manchester to Cleethorpes rail line is closed between Doncaster and Scunthorpe for 11 weeks from Monday 22 June.

First TransPennine Express (FTPE) train services will be replaced by direct road services between Cleethorpes, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Doncaster until Sunday 6 September as Network Rail carries out works of more than £20 million.

FTPE trains will continue to run between Doncaster, Meadowhall, Sheffield, Stockport, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport.
