On Wednesday 4th October, ASLEP strike action will be taking place and there will be no trains through Harrogate and Knaresborough throughout the day.

Additional disruption is expected from Monday 2nd to Friday 6th October due to action short of strike called by ASLEF. Customers are again advised to check before they travel as there may be some short notice cancellations to services running on these days. Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said:
