RAIL users are urged not to travel by train on three separate dates over the coming weeks.

Train operator Northern has issued a ‘do not travel’ warning after more strikes were announced by the RMT union in November.

Strike action taking place on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, November 5, 7 and 9, will bring all but a handful of services across the network to a halt.

Given the impact strikes have on operations, Northern is also advising customers to check before you travel on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, November 6, 8 and 10, when services will not be able to start until much later in the morning.

Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “We apologise again for the significant disruption and inconvenience this action by the RMT will cause to our customers.

“We all want to see an end to this dispute and hope that discussions between the industry and trade unions will lead to a resolution soon, so that we can avoid more disruptive strikes in the future.”
