| abstract | - First TransPennine Express (also known as TransPennine Express ) is a train operating company in the United Kingdom. It is a joint operation between First Group (55%) and Keolis (45%.) They operate regular services in the north including services linking the west and east coasts of England across the Pennines.The franchise will run for eight years with an optional extension of five years. The original service and brand name transpennine express was launched in late 1998 by Northern Spirit, and maintained by its successor, Arriva Trains Northern. On 1 February 2004, the service became a separate franchise, also incorporating the Manchester Airport to Cumbria and Lakelines (Oxenholme to Windermere) routes from First North Western but minus the Bradford to Blackpool service. Transpennine Express later took over the Manchester Airport to Blackpool . TransPennine Express is one of the few train operating companies in the United Kingdom running 24 hours a day, including through New Year's Eve night. For example, trains run between York and Manchester Airport at least every three hours every night of the week.
