A new Northern rail timetable affecting passengers in Yorkshire has begun.
The changes will see additional stops and extra seats on some services, while capacity on others has been reduced.
Passengers have been advised to check timetables online before travelling.
Matt Rice, chief operating officer at Northern, said: "The vast majority of services are unaffected by the change, but there are a small number of services that have been re-timed."
A spokesperson said there would be additional stops and extra capacity on some services from Leeds to Skipton. There would also be extra capacity on services from Leeds to Harrogate and York.
In the Calder Valley, more services would stop at Sowerby Bridge, Mytholmroyd and Low Moor.
There would be a reduction in capacity on services between Sheffield and Huddersfield while engineering work took place, the spokesperson added.
