The train firm's boss says the temporary reduction will help 'fix the business in the long term'.

By Spencer Stokes & Victoria ScheerTrain operator TransPennine Express has announced it will cut services to improve punctuality and reliability.

He told BBC Look North: "This plan to slightly step back the timetable in December will help to fix the business in the long term and operate a much more stable and reliable timetable for customers. While he said most routes would not be affected by the timetable shake-up, he said Hull passengers would see "marginal" increases to off-peak journey times to Manchester.

Figures showed the equivalent of one-in-seven services being cancelled in the first four weeks of April, more than any other operator.
