Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union are walking out in an ongoing row over pay and working conditions.

A strike was previously announced for Thursday, November 3. However this has been cancelled by RMT and Northern trains will be operating as usual on this day.

Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “We apologise again for the significant disruption and inconvenience this action by the RMT will cause to our customers.

“We all want to see an end to this dispute and hope that discussions between the industry and trade unions will lead to a resolution soon so that we can avoid more disruptive strikes in the future.”
