Note that due to industrial action by the RMT, the 05:30 Doncaster - Cleethorpes will be cancelled on Wednesday 10th and Friday 12th January 2018. All other Barton line services should run as sheduled.

There is further industrial action on Saturday 3rd March. Although not yet confirmed by Northern, the 06:56 Barton - Cleethorpes is currently showing as replaced by an 06:58 Barton - Grimsby Town. There is no replacement service shown for Grimsby Docks, New Clee or Cleethorpes. There is the odd minor retiming showing to other services.

 

Will passengers at Cleethorpes, Grimsby Town and Habrough also please note that there will be no Brigg line service on this date. I would be surprised if ticket acceptance was arranged.

Barton services should be unaffected as they are crewed by TPE staff, however other Northern services will be affected. In particular, in our area note that as all three dates are Saturdays there is unlikely to be any Brigg line service and services to Hull will be severely reduced.

There is now additional strike action on Saturdays 15th, 22nd and 29th September.

Ticket acceptance with TPE will be in place, so if for example you have an advance purchase ticket to Sheffield via Brigg, you may travel by appropriate alternative trains.

Fee free refunds are available for anybody who chooses not to travel.

Industrial action now suspended, it seems agreement has been reached to have a guard on every train.
