Check adjustments to key worker timetables
Bus and train operators have been adjusting their timetables aimed at reducing services while still providing some public transport for the wide range of key workers still having to go about their daily jobs.Passengers whose travel is essential are advised to check new timetables and journey planners for services from Monday (March 30). They may need to alter their usual travel times if they wish to travel their usual route, but many of the busiest routes have an hourly service most hours during daytime.
Government-run rail operator Northern introduced new Key Worker Timetables last week, but some have been adjusted, including the introduction of a small number of peak time trains on the Huddersfield - Deighton - Mirfield - Wakefield Kirkgate - Normanton - Castleford route, which had been left without a service last week and outside peak times still requires a detour of 90 minutes via Leeds for Huddersfield to Wakefield Kirkgate rather than the usual 25 minute direct journey.
Other rail operators are also providing only a skeleton service.
On the north TransPennine route through Leeds and Huddersfield to Manchester there will be an hourly fast train and an hourly train calling at all stations. The fast train will be either a service from Newcastle, or occasionally Edinburgh, or the service from Scarborough and will operate to Liverpool. The service from Redcar Central and Middlesbrough will operate to York or Leeds.
On the south TransPennine route, through Doncaster and Sheffield, services are two-hourly between Cleethorpes and Manchester Piccadilly.
People are being told to travel only if essential, but there are still a high number of key workers in Yorkshire, including not only health and social care workers and the emergency services, but also those working in the food production and supply chain, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and fuel supply, cleaning and protective equipment suppliers, the maintenance of utilities, postal workers and banking staff, to name just some.
Many bus operators are changing special timetables from Monday (March 30) with weekday routes switching to timetables based around a Sunday frequency but with additional services where demand has been higher and starting and finishing at usual weekday times.Most areas have been operating a Saturday-based timetable for the past week, except the East Yorkshire bus company which had already based services on a Sunday timetable with special timetables on routes which do not normally have a Sunday service.
Tram services in Sheffield and Rotherham in South Yorkshire are also affected by changes.More information
