Fresh strike action on the railways will bring more disruption to services in East Lancashire on three days next week.

ASLEF, which largely represents train drivers, will stage their action on Wednesday, May 31, and Saturday, June 3, and passengers are advised to avoid travel on those days.

The RMT union, which represents roles including conductors and station staff, has announced its own action on Friday, June 2, and passengers are advised to check before they travel as only a limited service will be in operation.

Lancashire Telegraph:

Given the impact strikes will have on displacement of trains, early morning and late-night services on Thursday, June 1, are also likely to be affected.

The strikes are set to take place during the upcoming half term holiday for hundreds of schools and colleges across the north of England, which runs from Monday, May 29, to Friday, June 2.

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

“This latest round of industrial action looks set to hamper people’s opportunity to explore the region during half term holidays. It’s understandably very frustrating.

“We all want to see an end to this dispute and the uncertainty that on-going strike action causes to people’s confidence in the railway.”

Northern’s new summer timetable came into effect on Sunday, May 21, and whilst the majority of services remain in place, they are urging people that make regular trips on the same trains to check timetables to see specific details related to their local station.
