RAIL passengers wanting to travel from York to Leeds on the last Sunday in May are being warned that they will face major disruption.

Network Rail said passengers should check their journey and plan ahead as work begins on a project to improve the track layout between platforms 4 and 6 at Leeds station throughout Sunday May 30.

A spokesperson said the first stage of the work will involve installing new overhead line equipment and moving some of the signalling equipment, and for this work to be carried out safely, some of the platforms will be closed and buses will also replace some train services, with pick up and drop off on New Station Street.
