Engineering work is an essential part of maintaining and upgrading the rail network which we rely on every day. Find out why it's important here.
The majority of planned engineering work will take place overnight or at the weekend, but you can check our Upcoming engineering work section below to find out if you might be impacted by upcoming engineering work on our routes. The calendar shows planned engineering work impacting TransPennine Express services over the next 12 weeks.
If your journey is affected by engineering works, the calendar will show you any changes to train times, or if your service has been replaced by a rail replacement bus service.
We advise customers to always check their travel details before travelling to ensure the most up to date journey information has been received.
Live updates on information to services can be found on Journey Checker or on National Rail Enquiries.
The Transpennine Route Upgrade is a multi-billion-pound programme of railway improvements happening in the North.
For services that will be impacted by the engineering work taking place for the Transpennine Route Upgrade, please check the Upcoming engineering work section below.
For further details about what is being delivered as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU), please visit the TRU Upgrade website.
A summary of upcoming engineering work affecting services on the TransPennine Express network can be found below:
There will be no TransPennine Express (TPE) trains running on Christmas Day or Boxing Day (25 and 26 December).
