Northern rail strike: The Yorkshire train services affected

Staff on Northern services have voted to take industrial action on March 13 - forcing the operator to run a reduced timetable and 300 rail replacement buses.

Some routes will be served only by buses, while other lines will have no early or late trains beyond the morning and evening rush hours.

Northern passengers can also use their pre-paid rail tickets to access Arriva bus services on the day of the strike.

Around 980 trains will still run as normal, but services are expected to be extremely busy. On some routes, trains will stop running at 7pm and there will be no services before 7am.

Members of the RMT union are striking in response to the operator's proposals for modernising the network by 2020.

Regional director Sharon Keith said:

“Earlier this week we announced we would be able to run approximately 980 rail services on the day of the industrial action. After further planning we will also be able to operate around 300 extra rail replacement buses.

“We expect all services, rail and bus, to be extremely busy and ask for customers’ patience on Monday. We would also ask customers to take time to consider whether journeys are necessary and, if they are, to plan carefully.

“As with the rail timetable, we have focused our planning efforts on providing a service between 7am and 7pm. And we have sought to provide an additional transport option for customers on the busiest routes that did not benefit from a rail service in the revised timetable.”
