RAIL users are advised to consider their travel plans as strike action is set to continue today and tomorrow.

Northern is advising its customers to consider whether their rail journeys on Sunday 9 July are necessary.

Sharon Keith, regional director at Northern, said: “We want to remind customers that we will operate a very limited service from 9am to 5pm today.

"Our coastal routes were very busy yesterday and there are fewer trains today. Therefore, we ask customers to please give serious consideration to alternative transport arrangements when making plans for today."

Strike action will continue into Monday 10 July.

Commuters can check before they travel by visiting www.northernrailway.co.uk/industrialaction for replacement timetables or going to www.nationalrail.co.uk or www.journeycheck.com/northern for up-to date train running information.
