RMT strikes will cripple services on November 5, 7 and 9 — but Northern warns trains also will be hit the day after each strike.

Rail operator Northern has told passengers to expect six days of disruption during the next wave of strikes.

The RMT union has scheduled strikes on Saturday, November 5, Monday, November 7 and Wednesday, November 9 as part of an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions.

Northern, which operates the line passing through Knaresborough and Harrogate, today advised people not to travel by train on those days.

It also warned that "services are also expected to be affected"  on November 6, 8 and 10 November.

The company added disruption would occur "especially in the morning, so please check before you travel".

The RMT previously announced a strike on November 3, however, this was cancelled and Northern said trains will be operating as usual that day.

The company 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.  Remember to check your entire journey as other train service providers may be affected.
"Advanced tickets will be withdrawn from sale, until an alternative strike timetable is in place."
