After reintroducing trains from the 3rd December, Hull Trains is adding new journeys to its current timetable thanks to growing demand.
The operator will run 34 additional services during the Christmas and New Year period to increase capacity for passengers.
The extra trains will operate between 19th December – 24th December and 4th – 8th January 2021.
Louise Cheeseman, managing director for Hull Trains, said: “We recognise that not everyone wants to travel during this time, but for those who do, we are making it as easy as possible for people to travel safe.”
“There has been a high demand for our services, so we are bringing in extra trains on more popular travel days which are 19 to 24 December and between 4 and 8 January 2021.”
“More trains mean more space for social distancing, and we are asking passengers to do their bit by planning ahead and travelling during off-peak times.”
“Other safety measures we have onboard includes clearly labelled seats to manage social distancing, extra cleaners on every journey and a live train tracker tool, which lets people check how busy the train is in real time.”
“We have a robust action plan to make it as easy as possible for people to travel safely with us during the Christmas and New Year period. As part of our resumption plan, we continuously monitor demand from passengers, and we can quickly bring in new services when there is an appetite.”

Due to engineering works at London King's Cross, Hull Trains will not operate any trains between Boxing Day and the 31st December 2020.
There is an amended timetable on 24 December, 31 December and 1 January 2021.
