Train services between Harrogate and Leeds look set be affected by three days of strikes in the next two weeks.
Both the RMT union and Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen have announced industrial action this Saturday (October 1), Wednesday (October 5) and next Saturday (October 8).
Northern, which operates services between Harrogate and Knaresborough towards Leeds and York, has urged passengers not to travel on days when strike action is being held.
A statement from the company said:
“As a result of ASLEF and RMT strike action, Northern customers are advised not to travel on Saturday 1, Wednesday 5 or Saturday 8 October.
“Services are also expected to be affected on Sunday 2 and Sunday 9 October, especially in the morning, so please check before you travel.”

The strike action comes as rail passengers have also been warned to expect disruption on Harrogate's LNER services from October 1.
Major engineering works in the Newcastle area by Network Rail will affect many services on the LNER route during this period.
The company operates six daily direct trains from Harrogate to London.
The disruption is set to last until October 9.
