Andy Burnham hails Transpennine Express contract axe a 'victory' as he vows to reshape northern rail travel
Andy Burnham has hailed the government decision to strip Transpennine Express of its contract a 'victory' as he vowed to reshape railways in the north of England.
Mr Burnham said the decision by the government will now allow his office to 'reshape railways in the north and make them work much better for the public.' "That gives us a real opportunity to now to reshape the railways in the north and make them work much better for the public." Office of Rail and Road data showed that in March TPE cancelled the equivalent of one in six services across the month, after the Manchester Evening News revealed in February the operator cancelled almost a quarter of all its trains in a month, including more than 1,000 the night before they were due to run via the controversial use of so-called 'P-coding' system.
