Network Rail has announced delays across Leeds during the festive season while engineering work is underway.
Between December 27, 2021, to January 3, 2022, there will be reduced service including a “very limited” service on January 2, 2022, at Leeds Train Station.
As part of a long term project, the work will include track remodelling, signalling upgrades and work to install new overhead wires to bring more reliable journeys for passengers and reduce the impact of delays across the North.

Network Rail said the 370 engineering projects it is carrying out over Christmas have been planned “months, and in some cases years, in advance”.
It added that more than 95 per cent of Britain’s rail network will remain open.
Andrew Haines, Network Rail chief executive, said: “While some essential work is taking place to upgrade our railway over the festive period, we’ve worked hard with train operators to reduce the impact on passengers as far as possible so that they can spend time with their families and friends this Christmas.
“I’d like to thank the thousands of rail workers who will be working to keep services running, and those delivering upgrades to improve our railway and bring more reliable journeys to passengers in future.”
