Travelling from York to Manchester
Traveling from York to Manchester
Hello! I’m curious if there’s a direct train service between York and Manchester. I did some searching online and noticed it seems to be undergoing maintenance. Is that accurate?
Additionally, I’m in the process of booking my tickets through Trainline. Is this a reliable website?
Finally, I see that my journey includes about a 21-minute transfer time. Will that be sufficient to catch the next train? Thanks!
Hi there!
Yes, there are direct trains from York to Manchester, typically operated by TransPennine Express. However, if there is maintenance work going on, it might affect the availability of direct services, so it’s always a good idea to check the latest travel updates on the train operator’s website or through the National Rail site.
Regarding Trainline, it is a legitimate website and commonly used for booking train tickets in the UK. Just make sure to compare prices, as sometimes booking directly through the train operator can be cheaper.
As for the 21-minute transit time, that should generally be sufficient to catch your next train. However, it’s wise to keep an eye on any potential platform changes or delays. Make sure to check the station layout in advance, as some stations might require a bit more time to navigate. Safe travels!
