LNER warns of nine days of disruption to Harrogate trains
Direct trains from Harrogate to London will be affected by engineering work between October 1 and 9. Rail strikes are also scheduled the same week.
Harrogate rail passengers have been warned to expect significant disruption to LNER services from October 1 to 9.
Major engineering works in the Newcastle area by Network Rail will affect many services on the LNER route during this period.
LNER operates six daily direct trains from Harrogate to London.
An LNER spokesman said:
"Journeys between Newcastle and Edinburgh will be affected, with some services diverted via the West Coast Main Line or by coach replacement, resulting in longer travel times.
"LNER services to and from Harrogate, Bradford, Lincoln, Middlesbrough, Thornaby, Hull, Selby, Brough and Sunderland will also be affected.
"Customers in these areas should use local services to connect with LNER services on the East Coast Main Line."

Some LNER services will also be amended on Monday, October 10 when the work is completed.
Rail strikes are scheduled to take place on October 1 and 5, causing further disruption to passengers on the York to Leeds service, which passes through Harrogate and Knaresborough, among other places.
The LNER spokesman added:
"We are reviewing the impact of this proposed action but expect an extremely limited timetable to be in place.
"During this period, we are advising customers to check before they travel and ensure they have a seat reservation as we are expecting trains to be extremely busy."
