    Train operator Northern has advised people to ‘check before you travel’ over Easter.

    Engineering work is scheduled over the bank holiday weekend, meaning there will be disruption to services between Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 1.

    Trains will still be running on Easter Sunday and the two bank holidays, but some journeys may take longer than usual and services may finish earlier in the day. Some routes have reduced services and a small number are closed completely.

    Tricia Williams, chief operating officer, said:

    “Easter has long-been a period when essential engineering work is carried out as there are fewer customers travelling than normal.
    “We do appreciate, however, that this still causes disruption for those who are on the move and we work closely with Network Rail to ensure the impact is kept to a minimum and alternative transport is provided wherever possible.
    “During periods of disruption, customers are always advised to ‘check before you travel’ and to allow extra time for their journeys.”


    Last week, the train driver union, ASLEF, announced that strikes that will take place the week after Easter. Walk outs are planned between Friday April 5 and Monday April 8.

    Northern services will be impacted by this action on Saturday April  6. More information is due to be released closer to the time.

    Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with over 500 stations across the North of England including Harrogate, Knaresborough and Starbeck.
