Northern releases timetables for RMT strike on 17 November

Date published: 13 November 2018


Northern has released details of its amended timetables for the latest RMT strike action on Saturday 17 November.

The strike action, together with some cancellations on Sunday 18 November, will see Northern running reduced timetables across the weekend.

Ongoing engineering work in some areas will also see some disruption to services on Sunday, particularly between Preston and Hellifield, Manchester and Crewe, Manchester and East Lancashire, and Blackpool and Leeds.

On Saturday, Northern expects to run around 30% of services with customers advised to plan carefully if they intend to travel on the rail network.

This weekend will also see thousands of people visit the famous Christmas Markets in Manchester. Customers are reminded of the impact the amended timetables will have on travel to and from Manchester.
