TransPennine Trains Limited, trading as TransPennine Express (TPE),[1] is a British train operating company that has operated passenger services in the TransPennine Express franchise area since May 2023. It runs regional and inter-city rail services between the major cities and towns of Northern England and Scotland. The company, which is government-owned, was established following poor performance by the previous commercially-owned operator, also called TransPennine Express. It has carried over the rolling stock, passenger services, and branding.
