Our vision is to take the north further. We have a vital role in connecting the North to make it greater than it’s ever been. Bringing people, businesses and cities closer together. Helping the economy grow.
Over the next seven years we’re going to be delivering more than £500 million of investment to transform TransPennine Express, making travelling on our network easier and more enjoyable. We will introduce state-of-the-art intercity trains that will be faster and more reliable, with more seats and luggage space.

The customer experience on our services will be transformed with improved catering, Wi-Fi, more seats, faster trains, innovative ticketing systems and improved journey times.
