Northern's regional director for the North West, Chris Jackson, has issued a reminder to customers to 'Check before you travel' ahead of the RMT strikes on Thursday (16 March) and Saturday (18 March).
Strike action has been announced by the RMT union on 16, 18, 30 March and 1 April, affecting Northern train services.

Chris Jackson, regional director for Northern, said: “We’re expecting the skeleton services we can run to be very busy – so customers should plan ahead and check before they travel.
“Given the reduced timetable only runs until 7pm, I’m very keen to stress that people should check their ‘last train home’ on those dates – so that customers don’t find themselves stranded at the wrong end of the line as a result of this action by the RMT.”
Northern will run an amended strike timetable on the affected days, with a 12-hour operation on selected routes from 7am to 7pm. For more information, customers should visit: www.northernrailway.co.uk/strikes
