Traffic and Travel Alert: Harrogate district traffic update
Train passengers in the Harrogate district will be hit by disruption to services this weekend.
Train passengers in the Harrogate district will be hit by disruption to services this weekend.
Northern and LNER services face strike action tomorrow, which will see no services operate to Leeds and York.
Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.
Roads
Traffic is moving as normal during rush hour on Wetherby Road, Knaresborough Road and Skipton Road this morning.
However, the A59 York Road, between Station Road and the A658 at Goldsborough, remains closed overnight until October 6.
The closure will be in place between 8pm and 5am while North Yorkshire County Council carries out resurfacing work.
A diversion will be in place via Knaresborough, Ferrensby, Minskip to Boroughbridge.
As previously reported, a main road out of Pateley Bridge will be closed for six weeks as repairs are carried out at Fellbeck bridge on the B6265.
Signs for a diversion and a temporary crossing over the river for pedestrians and cyclists are in place.
Trains and buses
No Northern and LNER trains will run from Harrogate and Knaresborough to York and Leeds tomorrow due to strike action.
Commuters will face further industrial action on Wednesday (October 5) and next Saturday (October 8) which may affect services from Harrogate and Knaresborough.
Northern, which operates the services, has urged passengers not to travel on strike days.
The company has also urged people to check for disruption before they travel on Sunday (October 2) as some services may still be affected.
The strike action comes as rail passengers have also been warned to expect disruption on Harrogate’s LNER services from October 1 until October 9.
Major engineering works in the Newcastle area by Network Rail will affect many services on the LNER route during this period.
Today, Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal.
Meanwhile, the Harrogate Bus Company is reporting no cancellations on its services this morning.
