There is often scheduled engineering over the Easter holiday meaning that there may be disruption to services.

We ask customers to check before travelling as journeys may take longer than usual and the last scheduled services may be earlier in the day. 

Trains still run on Easter Sunday and the bank holidays, but some routes have reduced services, with a few closed completely. Easter is often when essential engineering work is carried out, leading to disruptions; however, we work hard to ensure that these are kept to a minimum and alternative transport laid on wherever possible.

FAQs

Northern services will run a reduced service on Easter Sunday, which reflects the passenger numbers across the network for the holiday period. Northern’s live train updates will supply you with all the relevant information for catching the train over the Easter period.

Easter Monday is considered to be a public holiday across the UK, and as such, trains will be running on a reduced schedule throughout the day. This does mean, however, that fares fall into the off-peak price band, allowing you to enjoy a budget-friendly day out by train.
