Commuters are being warned of strike action this week.

Northern staff in the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers union are expected to walk out on Friday, September 1 and Monday September 4 in a long-running dispute.

Northern plan to remove guards and introduce driver-only trains.

Staff have walked out three times this year as part of their campaign against Driver Only Operation on trains.

Northern have said that services will only be able to operate a “limited” service between 7am and 7pm.

They say: “During these hours the overall number of trains running will be significantly reduced. We expect trains and any replacement buses we operate will be extremely busy.

“If you do travel and experience a delay of more than 30 minutes or more to your journey are eligible for compensation.”

Northern have issued timetables with limited services on the Calder Valley line, Leeds to Bradford, Sheffield to Huddersfield and Wakefield to Huddersfield lines.

TransPennine trains are unaffected by the strike action and will continue running from Huddersfield.
