    No trains will run through Harrogate and Knaresborough today as unions hold the first day of strike action.

    The two-day walkout will affect services to York and Leeds and see a reduced timetable at other stations.

    There will also be no trains running through Harrogate and Knaresborough on Saturday.

    The Rail, Maritime and Transport workers’ union and Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association are staging the national walkout over pay and conditions.

    Northern, which operates trains in Harrogate and Knaresborough, has advised passengers not to travel on its services.

    “We also expect disruption to services on Friday 19 and Sunday 21 August, especially in the morning. Customers are urged to check before they travel on these days.”
