No Northern services next Thursday due to latest strike by ASLEF
and live on Freeview channel 276
The union, which largely represents train drivers, has called multiple strikes on different days at train operators across the country.
As such, Northern customers connecting onto services with other train operators are advised to check before they travel for all journeys between Monday 6 and Saturday 11 May.

Tricia Williams, chief operating officer for Northern, said: “Unfortunately, the action by ASLEF on Thursday 9 May will see our network grind to a halt.
“On the days when strikes are taking place with other train operators, we will do everything we can to keep our services moving and absorb those extra passengers trying to travel across the region.
“We can only apologise, once again, for the disruption this action by ASLEF will cause to people in the North of England.”
