ARRIVA Trains Northern is reminding customers to pick up a copy of its updated winter timetable which comes into effect from Sunday, January 4, and to take note of some minor changes.

Dyan Crowther, Arriva Trains Northern's managing director, said: "We operate around 1,400 services a day and the vast majority will operate exactly the same as the current winter timetable, but there will be some very minor changes to the departure and arrival times of some Arriva Trains Northern services so it is advisable that people double check their travel arrangements."

Copies are now available from stations across the North-East, or to view or download from the company's website at www.arrivatrainsnorthern.co.uk
