    Harrogate train station strike July 27 2022

    Members of the RMT union organised a picket line outside Harrogate train station this morning.

    No trains are expected to operate today from Harrogate and Knaresborough due to a national strike called by the RMT.

    Some 40,000 members of the union are taking part in the industrial action.

    Four of them arrived on Station Parade at Harrogate at about 7am this morning.

    Speaking to the Stray Ferret at about 9am, they said they had received a lot of support from passers-by, with motorists tooting their horns and passers-by giving them drinks.

    They said they didn't want to be on strike and regretted the disruption but felt it was necessary because of concerns about pay, conditions and job security.

    Trains are expected to resume tomorrow in Harrogate and Knaresborough.
