Given there are several threads cropping up asking "when will X service be restored" I thought it might be helpful to have a thread which collects all of the ones that we know. I've started with just a few Northern services - if anyone wants to mention other TOCs I will gladly add them to this first post, but please let me know both what the current and 'normal' levels of service are in your post.
If the service you want is not listed here, please ask, and if someone answers your question I will add their answer to these tables for future use.
Please be aware that a service showing in booking engines or in timetable data does not mean it will definitely run - services may still be subject to short term amendments, such as due to staff isolation, or may be removed from the timetable before the date service was due to start.
