The new timetable features additional services through York and Doncaster, but reduced services for stations like Northallerton. The ECML said that the additional services would generate £60m per year for the rail industry, which would 'enable further enhancements' on the line.

More trains every day to London King's Cross, York, Sheffield and Doncaster, with improved journey times to some destinations Only a few direct trains to Peterborough, Newark and Doncaster from Northallerton and almost no direct trains to Edinburgh More trains between Harrogate, York and Leeds, including more rush hour and Sunday services An extra Northern service between Leeds and Sheffield calling only at Wakefield Westgate It also includes the ongoing TransPennine works in Huddersfield, with the express service from York and Manchester Piccadilly via Castleford and Wakefield Kirkgate not calling at Deighton. The proposal for the December 2025 timetable was created based on consultations with the public from 2021. The ECML said that the additional money generated by the extra services would go towards improvements on the line, such as enabling additional track capacity between Newcastle and York
