Major improvement works or changes to the timetable

From Saturday 27 December 2025 to Sunday 25 January 2026 sections of the railway line between Leeds, York and Selby will be closed to enable significant improvement work to take place as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade, meaning Northern services will be running to an amended timetable.

During these date, Network Rail will complete the following works:

  • Signalling and telecommunications systems along the route will be replaced, with a total of 54 new signals, other supporting infrastructure and a brand-new power supply will be installed, tested and brought into use.
  • The tracks in the Church Fenton area will also be remodeled, with platforms 3 & 4 at Church Fenton station being re-aligned and a passing loop installed to allow fast trains to overtake slower trains. This will enable the line speed to be increased in the future and unlock more frequent services.
  • 3km of track will also be replaced, along with eight switches and crossings, which enable trains to change from one line to another, delivering smoother, more reliable journeys. Work to install overhead electric line equipment will also continue, ready to power greener, quieter electric trains in the future.

To enable the works, changes to Northern services will happen across a three phased approach.
