Traffic is moving as normal in the Harrogate district this morning.

However, commuters are braced for another day of strike action this coming weekend.

Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.

Roads

While traffic is moving as normal, drivers should expect the usual queues on Harrogate’s Wetherby Road, Knaresborough Road and Skipton Road during rush hour this morning.

Meanwhile, overnight work on the A59 York Road, between Station Road and the A658 at Goldsborough, is expected to end today.

Montpellier Road in Harrogate remains closed until October 12 as Northern Gas Networks carries out maintenance work.

This week, temporary traffic lights are due in place on Cold Bath Road for five weeks as the company carries out maintenance work.

According to North Yorkshire County Council’s roadworks map, the measure will be in place from October 7.

At Blossomgate in Ripon, work is due to take place to replace and reset the kerb and improve the road.

Trains and buses

Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal this morning.

However, commuters will face further industrial action on Saturday (October 8) which may affect services from Harrogate and Knaresborough.

Northern, which operates the services, has urged passengers not to travel on strike days.

The strike action comes as rail passengers have also been warned to expect disruption on Harrogate’s LNER services from October 1 until October 9.

Major engineering works in the Newcastle area by Network Rail will affect many services on the LNER route during this period.

Meanwhile, the Harrogate Bus Company is reporting cancellations on its 1A and 1B services this morning.
