Northern has confirmed that a resolution has been found with train union Aslef from January 26. Details of the deal have not been released but staff voted 57 per cent to accept the deal.
A Northern spokesman said: “We welcome our drivers voting in favour of this new proposal. We are now implementing all the elements of the proposal which will include items that will see a more resilient Sunday service, on the small number of routes that have seen cancellations.
“We have worked with driver’s representatives for over eighteen months to develop this plan and this is only the first steps on our journey towards improved and more resilient ways of working.”
A union spokesman said: “Aslef has agreed to introduce a productivity arrangement with Arriva Rail North (Northern) that will provide more drivers available.”
