Fans travelling by rail from Ipswich to Saturday’s game at Burnley should note that buses will replace trains on the final leg of the journey.

The 9.53am from Leeds will terminate at Hebden Bridge due to engineering work at Tordmorden.

Buses will leave Hebden Bridge at 11.01am and is scheduled to arrive at Burnley Manchester Road, the nearest station to Turf Moor, at 11.41am. The train had been due to arrive at 10.57am.

Town’s game against the Clarets, who confirmed their promotion to the Premier League yesterday, is live on Sky and kicks off at 12.15pm.

There will also be buses running between Burnley Manchester Road and Hebden Bridge after the game. More information on the Northern Rail website.

backintheday added 15:13 - Apr 23 I have been able to progress this a bit more today, those coming via Leeds will have the following travel option. 0600 Ipswich to Peterborough arriving at 0737 0755 Peterborough to Leeds arriving at 0924 There is then an 0937 and 0953 service to Hebden Bridge. Northern are looking to move the standby bus to Hebden Bridge to meet the first of these services and a request has been made for the buses to load and go straight off, thus giving an earlier arrival time into Burnley.
