No trains will run through Harrogate and Knaresborough on Thursday amid more national strikes.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport workers' union and Transport Salaried Staffs' Association are set to strike this week over pay and conditions.

The latest industrial action will see thousands of workers walk out on Thursday and Saturday.

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

As a result of the strike action, no trains will run to Leeds and York from Harrogate on Thursday.

Services are still scheduled to run on Saturday, but Northern has warned that passengers may still face disruption.

Northern said:

“RMT and TSSA unions have called for industrial action on Thursday 18 and Saturday 20 August. We are advising Northern customers not to travel on these days.
“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.”


Mick Lynch, general secretary at RMT, said:

"The rail industry and the government need to understand that this dispute will not simply vanish.
"They need to get serious about providing an offer on pay which helps deal with the cost-of-living crisis, job security for our members and provides good conditions at work."
