Leeds to London train: Dozens of trains cancelled over Christmas because of Covid-19
Earlier this week, LNER said it would be reducing the number of trains it runs between Yorkshire and the capital over the festive period.
It said the cancellations were "as a result of an increase in the number of our staff self-isolating due to COVID-19".

Hide AdA statement on the LNER website says: "We are running the majority of our services over the Christmas period to support our customers. However, the spread of COVID-19 does mean that there will be some planned reductions, and we apologise in advance for any inconvenience this causes.
"These reductions are designed to minimise the impact on as few of our customers as possible and will enable us to provide a more resilient timetable throughout the festive period."
Those who have tickets booked can travel on an LNER train within 24 hours of their original journey.
These are the trains which have been cancelled so far:
