NORTHERN has published a travel advice calendar to help commuters plan their journeys amid more disruption due to strike action in late January and early February.

The train operator has published the diary from Monday, January 29, to Sunday, February 7, to highlight when services will be affected.  

There will be no Northern services at all on Wednesday, January 31, when ASLEF members – most of whom are employed as train drivers – stage their latest walk out.  

Additional disruption is expected from Monday, January 29, to Tuesday, February 6, due to "action short of a strike" called by ASLEF and customers are advised to check before they travel as there may be some short notice cancellations to services running on these days.

Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “We urge customers to check before they travel during this period of industrial action. 

“We apologise in advance for the significant disruption and inconvenience this will cause our customers. 

"We hope to see a resolution to this issue in the near future and an end to the disruption these strikes cause."
