Rail passengers are facing severe disruption after TransPennine Express axed more than 50 of its services in a single day.

The rail operator has cancelled services along routes[/size] between Manchester, Sheffield, York, Hull, Huddersfield and Edinburgh.

It comes after mayors in the north of England[/size] criticised rail "chaos" across the region.

Links between Liverpool and Newcastle have also been cancelled.

TransPennine said further short-notice cancellations and amendments to services were possible throughout the day but gave little explanation, referring to "ongoing issues".

Services between York and Newcastle as well as Leeds and Huddersfield and Hull have also been cancelled while seven services have been amended.

Is it because there is no diesel to put in the trains? Or are those lines electrified?
