</ref> Leeds has a fairly extensive commuter network and an electrified section in the North of Bradford provides many commuter services. Sheffield has a smaller commuter rail network and there are also less extensive systems in Doncaster, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Harrogate, which connect the districts of the settlements to the centre by rail. The express service between Leeds and Huddersfield is notably quick.

The [[South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive]] and [[West Yorkshire Metro]] subsidise commuters' travel with discount schemes. [[British Rail Class 399|Class 399]] [[tram-train]]s were introduced in Sheffield in 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metro-report.com/news/single-view/view/sheffield-tram-train-runs-onto-network-rail-infrastructure.html|title=Sheffield tram-train runs onto Network Rail infrastructure|work=[[Metro Report International]]|date=14 May 2018|access-date=17 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180518010414/http://www.metro-report.com/news/single-view/view/sheffield-tram-train-runs-onto-network-rail-infrastructure.html|archive-date=18 May 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Hull is connected to [[London]] by [[Hull Trains]]' services. North Yorkshire has a skeleton train network, with Scarborough and York being the main destinations. The [[Yorkshire Coast Line]] connects [[Hull Paragon Interchange|Hull]] to [[Scarborough railway station|Scarborough]]. The [[Hull to York Line]] runs along the north of the [[Humber]] through [[Selby railway station|Selby]], and takes in [[Sherburn-in-Elmet railway station|Sherburn-in-Elmet]] and nearby rural stations south of York, being of great use to commuters to York since being reopened in the 1980s.

South of the Humber, [[Scunthorpe railway station|Scunthorpe]] and nearby rural stations are connected by the [[South Humberside Main Line]], run by [[Northern (train operating company)|Northern]]. [[Grimsby Town railway station|Grimsby]] is connected (also through Scunthorpe) on [[TransPennine Express]]' South TransPennine route from Sheffield (originating at [[Manchester Airport railway station|Manchester Airport]]).
