Scarborough Trains Hit by Staff Shortages

Thursday, 19 January 2023 10:08

By Matthew Pells

41 Scarborough services have been cancelled so far this week as the government faces calls to nationalise Transpennine Express.

A number of Transpennine Express train services to and from Scarborough have been cancelled as a result of staffing issues.

Transpennine say:

"A shortage of train crew means fewer TransPennine Express services are able to run on some lines. Services may be cancelled, delayed or revised.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer Advice:

You can use your ticket on the following services at no extra cost:

  •     East Midlands Railway via any reasonable route
  •     LNER via any reasonable route
  •     Northern via any reasonable route
  •     ScotRail via any reasonable route
  •     Coastliner Buses between York, Malton, Seamer and Scarborough"

Today's 0748 service from Scarborough to York was cancelled as was the 0845 service to Manchester, some later trains are also showing as cancelled.

Data shows that so far this week there have been 41 Transpennine services to or from Scarborough that have been cancelled.

A spokesperson for TransPennine Express said:

“We are committed to the communities we serve and want to assure our customers that we are doing all we can to deliver a train service they can rely on.

“Prolonged disruption to our services has been caused by a combination of very high levels of sickness and a training backlog following the pandemic, which have led to us needing to remove services from our timetable on a day-to-day basis through pre-planned cancellations.

“Our customers want, and deserve, reliable and punctual train services, and we are sorry we have not been able to consistently provide that due to the ongoing issues. TPE’s team continues to work flat-out to deliver higher levels of service delivery and to tackle the issues that are being experienced by customers.”

The shadow transport secretary Sheffield MP Louise Haigh, said more than 120 TransPennine Express services were cancelled or disrupted this morning and has called on the government to nationalise Transpennine Express.
