Title: It's in the press. It must be right ;-) Post by: grahame on November 27, 2018, 17:16:08 I think Lauren Ballinger at The Examiner Live (https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/trains-manchester-leeds-include-change-15471290) may have got it wrong ... or are there really no longer to be through trains from Manchester to Leeds. That idea's almost as silly as having people change at Didcot on their way from Reading to Oxford.
Quote Transpennine Express is splitting its stopping service into two - meaning anyone travelling from Manchester to Leeds will have to change at Huddersfield . The company says it's doing this to improve the reliability of services between the two cities. The changes come into force on Sunday December 9 and means there will now be two separate services, between Manchester and Huddersfield and the other between Leeds and Huddersfield. From this date, the two services will run as follows: Manchester Piccadilly to Huddersfield, calling at Stalybridge, Greenfield, Marsden and Slaithwaite Huddersfield to Leeds calling at Deighton, Mirfield, Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury , Batley, Morley and Cottingley TPE says splitting the service will mean there is greater reliability overall and will enable trains to overtake one another during times of disruption.

From the official press release (https://www.tpexpress.co.uk/media-centre/news/2018/november/transpennine-express-to-further-improve-the-reliability-of-rail-services) Quote Tuesday 27th November 2018 We continue to focus on improving the reliability of services and this December, will be making another key adjustment to our train plan. Over the last few months, we have worked with the wider rail industry on providing a more dependable service for customers and this focus will continue going forward. From Sunday 9 December 2018, the Manchester Piccadilly to Leeds stopping service will operate as two separate trains, one between Manchester and Huddersfield and the other between Huddersfield and Leeds. Splitting the service in this way will mean there is greater reliability overall and will enable trains to overtake one another during times of disruption.
