🚆 Rail Update – Hot Weather Service Changes (Northern / LNER / TPE) ☀️

We’ve been advised of temporary changes across multiple operators due to the current heatwave, in place until around Thursday 25th–Friday 26th June.
👉 Tees Valley Line:
✅ No changes planned at present – services are currently expected to run as normal.

👉 Northern:
Some routes elsewhere (mainly around Manchester, Leeds and Lancashire) are running a reduced timetable to help maintain reliable services in high temperatures.

👉 LNER:
⚠️ Hot weather warnings are in place and journeys may be impacted, with advice to check before travelling and consider whether travel is essential on the hottest days. [lner.co.uk]

👉 TransPennine Express (TPE):
⚠️ No planned timetable reductions currently, but short-notice delays or cancellations are possible due to the heat. [tpexpress.co.uk]

💡 Travel advice across all operators:
• Check before you travel
• Allow extra time
• Carry water and stay hydrated
• Travel earlier where possible
• Speak to staff if you need assistance
