CrossCountry trains will continue to operate between the two cities as normal.

Speaking about this, a representative from National Rail said: “This planned engineering work will close some lines on Saturday (May 9) and Sunday (May 10).

“If you are planning to travel between Sheffield and York on Northern services, you can complete your journey on rail replacement buses.

“CrossCountry and Northern services between Sheffield and Leeds will have their timetables re-timed.

“If you’re travelling on a rail replacement bus, you can use the rail replacement services page on the National Rail website for advice with your journey.”
