Northern has warned passengers not to travel for the majority of next week amid more industrial action.

RMT Union members are expected to stage another walkout from Tuesday (December 13) until Saturday (December 17) in a dispute over pay and conditions.

The strikes will be the latest to hit the Harrogate district rail network this year.

Northern, which operates services from Harrogate and Knaresborough towards Leeds and York, has warned passengers not to travel after Monday next week as services wind down.

The operator said it expects to run a “very limited service” during the days of strike action.

It said in a statement:

“On strike days, only travel by rail if necessary and if you do travel, expect severe disruption and plan ahead - especially the first and last trains of the day.
“If you do decide to travel, there will be very limited services running across the whole rail network so remember to check your entire journey as other train service providers may be affected.
“There will be no rail replacement buses on strike days for Northern services and some Northern stations may be closed or have reduced hours due to the limited staffing and services.”

Northern is also expecting disruption over Christmas as the RMT Union announced further planned demonstrations.

The union is planning to stage a further walkout from Christmas Eve until December 27.

Northern added:

“We're working on what that means for services, please check before you travel as your usual train may not be running.”
