NORTHERN has published the timetable for the skeleton service it will operate next Wednesday – including its services running in Bradford.

The train firm has issued a Do Not Travel notice for the day when industrial action by the RMT union is set to take place.

As the majority of Northern's services will be unable to run, Northern’s advice to customers is not to travel on Wednesday, July 27.

The skeleton timetable comprises hourly services between 7.30am and 6.30pm from: Leeds to Bradford Forster Square; Leeds to Skipton; Leeds to Ilkley; Ilkley to Bradford Forster Square; Skipton to Bradford Forster Square; Leeds to Sheffield via Wakefield Westgate; Leeds to York via Micklefield; Darlington to Saltburn and Liverpool to Alderley Edge via Chat Moss, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport.

Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “We apologise in advance for the disruption and inconvenience that the RMT’s industrial action will cause.

"Services are also likely to be disrupted on Thursday, July 28 given the impact of the strike on fleet displacement across our 550-station network. Customers should check online before they travel.

"We continue to be keen to speak to the RMT to find a resolution and avoid any future strikes.”
