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.
