Rail strikes Yorkshire: Everything you need to know about Yorkshire's train timetables during strike week

Industrial action is set to impact the rail network across the UK between Tuesday June 21 and Sunday June 26, with customers being warned to avoid train travel.

The railway workers’ trade union, RMT, is planning strikes for Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 June.

This will see rail services across Yorkshire - and the rest of the country - significantly reduced, and in many cases, cancelled altogether.

Rail operators around the region have advised customers to avoid travelling on the network between Tuesday June 21 and Sunday June 26.

Where rail travel is unavoidable, operators have warned that journeys will be significantly disrupted and passengers should allow extra time to get to their destination.

While the industrial action only covers three days of the period, services on the days on each side of the strikes are also expected to be impacted.
