    More train strikes are set to disrupt services in Harrogate and Knaresborough this week.

    Rail company Northern has said no services will operate on Saturday due to industrial action by train drivers' union Aslef.

    It added in a statement:

    "Additional disruption is expected on Friday, September 29 and from Monday 2 to Friday 6 October due to action short of strike called by Aslef and customers are advised to check before they travel as there may be some short notice cancellations to services running on these days.
    "There will also be no services on Wednesday, October 4 – when an additional strike has been called by the union."

    Mick Whelan, Aslef general secretary, said:

    ‘While we regret having to take this action – we don’t want to lose a day’s pay, or disrupt passengers, as they try to travel by train — the government, and the employers have forced us into this position.
    "Our members have not, now, had a pay rise for four years – since 2019 – and that’s not right when prices have soared in that time."
