Trains are diverted via Lincoln extending the journey time by about one hour. Some afternoon/evening trains are cancelled or run earlier and most trains leave Kings Cross around one hour earlier than normal. Check times before yon travel.

TransPennine Express
Until 9th December TPE have introduced a revised ‘leaf-fall’ timetable on the North TransPennine route. This gives better connections at Thornaby from the Coastline into TPE southbound York/Leeds/Manchester services on Monday to Friday mornings.
Northern
Northern will be introducing an improved Sunday timetable on the Coastline from 10th December, more closely replicating the weekday timetable with hourly services between Metro Centre and Nunthorpe starting earlier than at present and with three through trains to Whitby
