On Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November, engineers will be working at sites in Heck, near Selby, and Copmanthorpe, near York relaying close to 2 miles of track and making improvements to overhead electric wires and signalling equipment. This work will help to deliver more reliable and smoother journeys.
At Copmanthorpe, engineers will work throughout the weekend to replace 1.2 miles of track. At the same time, overhead electric wires will be renewed as part of the TransPennine Route Upgrade.

Network Rail teams will also be installing new rails and sleepers in three locations at Heck which will improve reliability and deliver a better ride quality for passengers as they travel by train.
The engineering work means that there will be some changes to trains passing through the areas, with LNER, CrossCountry, Lumo, Hull Trains, Grand Central, and TransPennine Express services affected.
Some trains will divert using other lines but passengers are being encouraged to check their journey before travelling via National Rail Enquiries or their train operator.
During the weekend, engineers will also be working to renew Moss Level Crossing near Doncaster, including replacing the deck of the level crossing and painting new road markings.
