A train company that operates in the North East has issued a "do not travel" warning to rail passengers for the majority of next week as Network Rail workers are set to walk out as part of ongoing industrial action.
Northern has advised customers not to travel between Tuesday 13 and Saturday 17 December, warning of "major disruption across the whole rail network". The train company added that anyone planning a journey on the strike days should only travel by rail "if necessary" and has urged them to check whether their journey has been impacted by the action.
Northern has told anyone who must travel from Tuesday to Saturday next week to "expect severe disruption and plan ahead - especially the first and last trains of the day". They also warned that there will be "very limited" services running across the rail network on these dates, and that some Northern stations may be closed or have reduced hours due to limited staffing on strike days.
