Major improvement works or changes to the timetable

If you’re planning a trip in the North West on a Sunday, please check journey planners before you head out.

Since Sundays are outside of conductors' regular working week, we've made some changes to the schedule. It's a good idea to check before you embark on your journey.

A summary of the amended Sunday timetable is available on our information page.

To check your journey, visit Northern's Journey Planner or the National Rail website.
