Fans heading for Derby County this weekend are being advised to avoid rail travel.

CrossCountry have introduced a temporary timetable across the network which will see fewer trains in operation between York/Darlington and Derby.

Fans planning on travelling by rail are being urged to consider alternative means of transport. Those who do decide to travel by train have fewer journeys to choose from and will find that services may be very busy as a result.

Those who do travel by train should check before travelling at the CrossCountry website or at www.nationalrail.co.uk.  

The temporary timetable is here.
