Good morning, it's almost the weekend. It's Suzannah here for the last time this week with your 15 minute road and rail line updates.

These morning blogs are designed to keep the Harrogate district moving. If traffic is moving well or it’s at a standstill then I will let you know.

The gritters were out overnight so take care on the roads.

Send me any updates via contact@thestrayferret.co.uk or leave a comment on our new travel Facebook page, 'Harrogate district traffic and travel'.

Stay tuned for updates until 9am this morning. Have a great day.
