RAIL replacement buses will run during a weekend of disruption because of engineering works through York.
The Transpennine Route Upgrade hopes to bring faster train journeys on routes passing through York. The project is being carried out with a £3.9 billion cash boost from the Government.
Once complete in the mid-2030s, the upgrade will offer up to eight trains per hour, hundreds of extra seats and cut journey times between Manchester and York by 10 minutes.
On Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, engineering works will take place on the TransPennine Express network around York station.
