TransPennine Express confirmed that additional stops at Rochdale will be included on select services from York on Saturday (April 25) to account for York’s title-deciding match against Rochdale.

The arena is a nine-minute drive from Rochdale Railway Station or a 40-minute walk.

Trains are set to run without disruption, with many including a change along the way.

But TransPennine Express routes, which will set off from York at 7.17am, 8.19am, 9.20am and 10.20am to Manchester Victoria, stopping off at Rochdale ahead of the match, will run direct.

Speaking about this, a spokesperson for TransPennine Express said: “We’re pleased to be able to add additional stops at Rochdale on selected services from York this Saturday, making it easier for customers to travel to the York City vs Rochdale match.

“These changes will provide more direct journey options and help reduce the need to change trains while engineering work is taking place over the weekend.”
