The rail route through Hatfield & Stainforth, which was closed by a landslip earlier in the yard, will fully reopen to traffic on Monday 8th July.
Work to restore the line is progressing as planned with engineers working around the clock to hand back the railway on time. Freight and passenger trains will recommence service through Hatfield & Stainforth from 05:00.
Northern Rail will run an hourly service between Doncaster and Goole, and Doncaster and Scunthorpe. Rail replacement buses will continue to run to support the Northern train services until 29th July; however, these buses will be retimed so passengers are advised to check the interim timetables.
First TransPennine Express will be running the full timetable that operated between Cleethorpes, Scunthorpe, Sheffield and Manchester Airport, before the colliery landslip from 8th July.
