The Transpennine Route Upgrade hopes to bring faster train journeys on routes passing through York. The project is being carried out with a £3.9 billion cash boost from the Government.
Once complete in the mid-2030s, the upgrade will offer up to eight trains per hour, hundreds of extra seats and cut journey times between Manchester and York by 10 minutes.
On Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, engineering works will take place on the TransPennine Express network around York station.
