Train timetables announced for strike on Saturday

Northern

Normal Saturday timetables will be significantly amended with around 44% of usual services operating during the train strike on Saturday.

In some areas, where rail services are not available, rail replacement bus services will be provided.

The majority of rail services will run between 7am and 7pm and Northern expects all to be extremely busy.

Sharon Keith, Regional Director at Northern, said: “We have planned carefully to provide the best possible rail and rail replacement services for our customers.

“We will operate more rail services than ever before for a Saturday strike and are doing everything we can to keep the north of England on the move.”

Sharon added: “Anyone who is planning to travel using Northern services on Saturday should plan ahead carefully and allow extra time for any journeys. Our services will be busy and, in some cases, may not follow the usual stopping patterns. Some routes may also be served by other train operators, so it is vital our customers think ahead.

"Northern will have people out across the network during the coming week to assist customers and answer any questions they might have.

"Information will also be displayed on posters at all stations across the Northern network and on customer information screens where available."
