From Tuesday 5th December until further notice the 06.00 departure from Cleethorpes and the 06.58 departure from Barton will consist of one of the new Class 185 units instead of the hitherto Class 158 units as used on the TransPennine runs to Manchester. Due to the higher and longer dimensions of this type of train the following restrictions simultaneously come into force.
1) These trains will not call at New Clee, Grimsby Docks, Great Coates and Thornton Abbey where the platforms are lower than normal. Passengers wishing to alight at these stations should notify the conductor who will telephone to make alternative arrangements with Northern Rail.
2) At Healing, Ulceby, New Holland, Barrow Haven and Barton where the platforms are now shorter than normal only the central doors of the train will be operated.
3) No wheelchairs or bicycles will be carried on these trains and intending passengers should contact the conductor to make alternative arrangements.
Passenger use of the remaining services of each day is not affected.
