It is full steam ahead for the Coronation weekend as Northern has confirmed it will operate its regular timetable over the weekend, May 6 to 8.
The train operator, which provides 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England, is prepared for services to be busy.
Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “The Coronation Weekend will be a great opportunity for people to come together and mark this national event – and that means they’ll need to travel around the region.
“We’re operating our regular timetable over the course of the three-day event, helping people get from A to B.
“On behalf of everyone here at Northern, we wish their Majesties the very best for this historic event.”
