CrossCountry services back at Westgate

CrossCountry have announced that they will reinstate a full timetable of services calling at Wakefield Westgate from this Sunday 8th September after removing the stop in May.

This decision will finally restore vital services which are used by countless residents everyday.

CrossCountry removed these services without proper consultation and left passengers with limited options during the height of summer, the busiest period of the year.

This is a positive step by CrossCountry and one which will be welcomed by my constituents, but it is long overdue.

CrossCountry still have a long way to go in restoring passengers’ confidence in their services as one of the worst performing train companies in the country.
