Managing director Louise Cheeseman said passengers should plan ahead and book early to avoid disappointment.

Due to major engineering works, King's Cross Station will be closed between Boxing Day and December 30. Hull Trains is not running services on those days.

There is an amended timetable on December 24, December 31 and January 1 2021.

Ms Cheeseman said: “We continue to review the numbers of people travelling and will introduce more services as demand increases and it’s financially viable to do so.

“I would like to thank our loyal customers for their continued support during a very challenging time, but the continued optimism and hard work of our people gives me confidence in the future of the business.”

Safety measures include socially distanced seats, a dedicated cleaner on every journey and a new live train tracker tool which lets people see how busy the train is real time before boarding. Complimentary fresh coffee, Yorkshire Tea and snacks are also being reintroduced into first class.
