TransPennine
Express



is
warning
passengers
not
to
try
to
travel
between
north
west
England
and
the
Scottish
central
belt
tomorrow,
after
an
amber
weather
warning
of
gale
force
winds
gusting
at
up
to
150km/h.



Storm
Éowyn
is
expected
to
make
landfall
early
tomorrow,
after
an
unrelated
weather
front
has
brought
strong
winds
to
western
Wales
and
parts
of
England
later
today.



TPE
is
also
advising
would-be
travellers
to
avoid
the
route
between
York
and
Edinburgh.



Passengers
on
other
lines
are
being
urged
to
check
travel
updates
before
they
leave
home,
and
to
be
prepared
for
the
possibility
of
major
disruption.



TPE
director
Andrew
McClements
said:
‘Our
top
priority
is
the
safety
of
our
customers
and
colleagues.
We
will
do
everything
possible
to
keep
people
moving
under
difficult
conditions,
however
due
to
the
weather
warnings
this
Friday,
we
are
having
to
issue
advice
not
to
travel
on
two
of
our
routes.



‘We
urge
anyone
travelling
on
the
affected
routes
to
reconsider
their
plans
and
to
follow
the
guidance
provided.’
