Northern has announced there will be disruption to rail services over the Christmas and New Year period.

The company has said there will be changes - including short-notice cancellations - to services across the network in the North West.

The firm runs the Lancaster-Bare-Lane-Morecambe service as well as other trains serving Lancaster.

They have asked that if you're planning to take the train over the Christmas and New Year period, please plan ahead and check before you travel.

You can plan your journeys ahead of time using journey planners at www.nationalrail.co.uk or via Northern.

For on-the-day info, you can find route-specific information by using the Journey Check tool, or live service updates page.

Northern is also bringing in a new Sunday timetable from December 22 due to conductor availability.

"This timetable is designed to provide more certainty about the services that will run and reduce short-notice cancellations," said a Northern spokesperson.

"We do expect some short-notice amendments and cancellations to take place in December, so please check before travelling as close to your journey time as possible."

Timetables can be found HERE.

Northern’s train timetables changed from Sunday December 15 in line with a national timetable change.

There have been changes to the timings of trains, as well as a handful of services added and removed.

Northern said that most services will run at the same level as they do in the current June 24 timetable, with some slight re-timings in places.
