Trains through Harrogate and Knaresborough will operate 'as usual' over the Bank Holiday Weekend.

That’s according to train operator Northern, who are encouraging customers to get out and enjoy the early May bank holiday by train.

Whilst trains on most routes will be running as normal over the weekend, services may start later or finish earlier.

Northern is advising customers to leave plenty of time to travel and check train times before heading to the station.

Matt Rice, chief operating officer for Northern said:

"We're hoping for some fantastic weather over the early May bank holiday weekend, and there's no better way to get out there and enjoy it than by train.

"Whilst we've got some engineering work taking place on a handful of our routes, the vast majority of Northern trains will be running as normal.

“A reduced timetable is still in place on Sunday across the North West, so customers should make sure they check before they travel as trains may be busier."

Full details of the changes to services over the early May bank holiday can be found on Northern's website.
