The new timetable follows what has been described as “months of rail chaos” by the office of Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin. Her office has said the chaos has damaged the northern economy by more than £1m per day.

Action on railways by northern mayors has been coordinated by Ms Brabin and they recently met with Transport Secretary Mark Harper after issuing a joint statement calling for him to “get the network running properly and deliver a full timetable for the nine million people living across the region”.

The group that issued the joint statement consisted of Ms Brabin, Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, South Yorkshire mayor Oliver Coppard, North of Tyne mayor Jamie Driscoll and Liverpool City Region mayor Steve Rotheram.
