TransPennine Express encourages people to explore the  North, with the launch of its walking and cycling guide. 

Available from selected TPE stations, the guide features a variety of walks and some bike rides including a number of accessible routes, which can all be reached by train and start directly from Hull, Marsden, Malton or Scarborough train stations.  

Produced in partnership with: Sustrans, Scarborough Borough Council, Ryedale District Council, Visit Hull and East Yorkshire and Marsden Walkers are Welcome, the guide has been put together with the support and knowledge of local communities.

It is hoped the new guide will encourage people to get out and explore parts of the North they may not have visited before, and do so in an eco-friendly way, by leaving the car at home and taking the train.

Fran Barrett, Business Assurance Director, TransPennine Express, said:

“Using the train is one of the greenest and most sustainable ways to travel and I would encourage people to leave the car at home, relax on-board one of our modern trains and try one of the walks or bike rides for themselves.”

Rosslyn Colderley, Director, Sustrans England North, said: “We’re proud to be part of a collaborative guide to exploring cross-country by rail, walking and wheeling. Taking the train as part of your journey means less cars on the road and cleaner air, creating healthier places and happier people. You can then enjoy one of our many traffic-free paths for everyone, connecting you to cities, towns and countryside.”
