Northern's plans on track to keep the region on the move - 3pm update

Sharon Keith, Regional Director at Northern, said: “The network coped well throughout the morning and early afternoon and we have kept as many people on the move as possible.

“We are now concentrating on getting people home this evening. Any customers who want to travel later today on a Northern service should think carefully about their plans. Our services will begin to wind down from around 5pm, and there will be few trains running after 7pm.”

Sharon added: “I’d like to thank our customers for their patience so far today, and ask that they continue to work with us as we head into the evening peak. I’d also like to thank our staff who continue to work hard to operate our trains and look after our customers.”
