From Saturday until Monday, only around 40% of services on the Northern rail network will be running because of industrial action by RMT - please do check before you travel.
It is extremely disappointing that this trade union has decided to strike yet again - particularly as Northern are at such an early stage in a modernisation program which will improve services for passengers, including a £1 billion investment in new trains and ‘as new’ refurbishment of all other trains.
This industrial action is premature, before they have had in-depth discussions with Northern Rail about the modernisation plans passengers in Bolton West have asked for.
