New rail timetables come into force this weekend
A new rail timetable will come into effect across Yorkshire on Sunday (15 December).
Train operator Northern has made amendments to its services, resulting in new times for trains.
Northern operates 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the north of England, including the N29 line, York to Harrogate and Leeds, which stops at Knaresborough and Starbeck along the route.
In some areas of the region services have been added and removed, but the Harrogate line will only see a change in timings for certain trains including those in peak hours.
Northern changes its timetable twice-yearly and the current timetable has been in place since June.
The new timetable will be in force from this Sunday to May 17.
Matt Rice, chief operating officer at Northern, said:
The twice-yearly timetable change is an opportunity for us to adjust services, so they better reflect customer demand.
The Christmas period is also an opportunity for Network Rail to carry out engineering work whilst there are fewer people travelling on the network.
For those travelling between Christmas and New Year we ask that they check their journey as close to the day of travel as possible to see if those engineering works will affect their journey.
The new timetables can be found online.
