Dear #TransPennine,

Thanks for cancelling my 0630 train (with a 0615 start) at 2250 this evening, and leaving *almost* no other trains running on that route until 1130.

The one option you have left me with now means I have to leave at 0530 by car, to start my journey at a different station.

I could have planned for this, had I known about it say *two* hours earlier.

More than 1,000 trains have been cancelled or changed overnight by under-fire rail operator TransPennine Express in just over a month - but they won't appear in official performance figures.

Revealed: north of England train line vastly under-reports cancellations.

TransPennine Express uses outrageous loophole in which services cancelled a day ahead do not appear in statistics.
