  • You may use London North Eastern Railway, Northern and TransPennine Express services via any reasonable route.

    Where possible some services will divert not calling at Doncaster.

#LNERUpdate Fires remain alight on both sides of the track between #York and #Doncaster. This means we are unable to pass in both directions.
