The government has stepped in after the train company's poor performance
The MP for Cleethorpes has welcomed TransPennine Express being brought under government control following a series of “unreliable” and “appalling” services.
The decision has been supported by Cleethorpes MP Martin Vickers, who has regularly spoke out against the disruption to train services in his constituency. “Of course things won’t improve overnight but this is a step in the right direction and I urge the unions to show goodwill, reach an agreement about rest day working and let’s deliver a service that my constituents deserve.”
“All tickets remain valid and customers should continue to use and purchase tickets in the normal manner.
