New Airedale line train timetable in May

Tuesday, 21 April 2026 10:14

Skipton railway station

Train operator Northern is reminding customers about changes to the Airedale line timetable next month.

The update to timetables in May forms part of the national timetable change, which takes place each May and December.

Most of Northern's services will see no change in May, with some targeted adjustments taking place to help with punctuality and reflecting feedback from customers.

In the North East, more customers will be able to travel between Newcastle and Whitby on Sundays without changing trains, and there will be some small tweaks to the timetables on other lines.

In Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, trains running between Sheffield and Lincoln will now call at all stations along the route on Sundays.

In the North West, there will be some small changes on a few routes to help with punctuality.

There are several tools available to help customers plan their journeys:

Northern app: Access real-time updates, purchase tickets, and receive notifications about service alterations
National Rail Enquiries journey planner: Check for timetable changes, engineering works and plan journeys

Toby Higgins, Head of Business Performance at Northern, said:

"We've listened to feedback from our customers and have focused on improving reliability when the May timetable change takes place.

"Whilst there won't be widespread changes to times, I'd advise customers to check before they travel as some services will leave a few minutes earlier than they do now to help with overall punctuality."

Full details of all of the changes taking place across the Northern network can be found on Northern's website.
