TransPennine Express brought in temporary service cuts in the 2023-4 timetable in an effort to improve performance. Early signs are that the tactic is working. Crew training issues have been eased with withdrawal of loco-hauled push-pull sets. Four trains/day run Manchester-Huddersfield-Wakefield-York, hopefully to become hourly in December. But for now the off-peak Leeds-Huddersfield service is just three trains per hour. Makes our line look good! TransPennine Route Upgade work affects our line of course. Swings and roundabouts. Brighouse is disrupted, but does see calls by diverted TPE services that avoid Huddersfield.
Trans Pennine on the up, we hope
