    A picket line is operating outside Harrogate train station this morning as rail strikes resume.

    The RMT union and Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (Aslef) are striking today, Wednesday and next Saturday over pay and conditions.

    Previous industrial action was cancelled because it coincided with the Queen's mourning period.

    The strikes have affected some people travelling to Harrogate for the three-day Green Party autumn conference, which started yesterday, as well as football fans that planned to catch the train for today's Harrogate Town vs Bradford City derby at 1pm.

    About 15 picketers turned up to support the action today.

    Rail passengers have also been warned to expect disruption on Harrogate’s LNER services from today until October 9.

    Major engineering works in the Newcastle area by Network Rail will affect many services on the LNER route during this period.
