All-night trains linking to major UK airport and city centre are launching next month
ALL-NIGHT train services to a major UK airport will begin next month.
The roll out of a new rail timetable will connect travellers to the UK’s third busiest airport all through the night.
Eight overnight trains will go between Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly.
Beginning from May 17, night trains are expected to run roughly every hour between the city and the airport.
The TransPennine Express (TPE) services are being put in place as part of a timetable shakeup.
It’s hoped it will better connect passengers making journeys to and from Manchester Airport in the late night and early morning.
Andrew McClements, customer experience and transformation director at TPE, said, “We’re pleased to be introducing services that give customers more choice, added flexibility, and an improved overall experience when travelling with us.”
Other changes to the TPE timetable will see an update to 08.05am weekday services between Leeds and Manchester Piccadilly come into place.
The regular service will begin to call at Dewsbury.
This is to help commuters and students with early morning commutes and to better connect them to the city.
TPE is also urging customers to check their usual routes to see if they have been impacted by the timetable changes.
It said, “Although most of our services are unchanged, we encourage customers to take a moment to check any journeys they make regularly.”
