Traffic is moving normally in the Harrogate district this morning, but drivers should still take care due to the usual rush hour delays.

Meanwhile, passengers using the trains this morning are urged to check their journeys before they travel due to strike action.

Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.

Roads

In Harrogate, temporary lights are in place at Harewood Road in Harrogate as CityFibre carries out maintenance work.

Meanwhile, lights remain on Ripon’s Clotherholme Road as Northern Gas Networks carries out replacement work to gas pipes in the area.

The lights will remain in place until September 5.

Trains and buses

While train services through Harrogate and Knaresborough are due to run as normal today, passengers are warned that they still could face disruption.

Northern has urged commuters to check before they travel as services may still be affected by this week’s strike action.

As previously reported, no trains will be running between Harrogate and Knaresborough on Saturday due to unions staging a national walkout.

Other stations will see a reduced timetable.

Meanwhile, the Harrogate Bus Company is reporting cancellations on the 1, 1A, 1B, 1D  and 36 this morning.

The 3 service will take a diversion at Harewood Road due to temporary roadworks. Instead, passengers should use alternative stops at Grantley Drive and Jennyfield Co-op.
