Northern rail has issued a timetable update ahead of next month.
The new train schedules will be introduced from Sunday, May 15 and will focus on "delivering reliability and punctuality for customers". The majority of routes will maintain service levels established in December last year and some routes will see increased seat capacity.
Chris Jackson, regional director at Northern said: “Customers are at the heart of everything we do, and the new timetables are designed to deliver high levels of reliability.

“We’ve made decisions about our timetables based on the levels of resource we have available and prioritising the routes with the highest customer demand, and which support the region’s economic growth.”
Changes include; improved calling patterns at Adlington and Blackrod, additional services to Blackpool and Cumbria from July, additional services on the Hope Valley line, slightly reduced number of services on the Manchester Piccadilly-New Mills Central route, and increased seat capacity on the Settle and Carlisle line.
Full details of the new timetables can be found online via the Northern website or at National Rail Enquiries.
