A spokesperson for TransPennine Express said: “Whilst we are pleased the strike action by RMT has been suspended, the very late notice of the suspension means we will have to continue to run amended timetables on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (5, 6, 7 and 8 November).
"On Saturday and Monday we will only operate services between Huddersfield and York, and we continue to ask customers to plan ahead carefully and to only travel if journeys are absolutely essential on these dates."

Full details of TransPennine Express' amended timetables are available via the website.
Northern's chief operating officer, Tricia Williams, also responded to the news that planned strike action had been cancelled.
She said: “We welcome the news that the RMT has withdrawn its planned strike action on Saturday 5, Monday 7 and Wednesday 9 November.

“We continue to advise customers not travel on these days. We are working up a plan to run a fuller service on Wednesday - customers should visit our strike page for most up to date information.”
