Northern said there would be no Northern services at all on today (Wednesday) when ASLEF members – most of whom are employed as train drivers – stage their latest walk out.  

"Additional disruption is expected from Monday 2 to Friday 6 October due to action short of strike called by ASLEF and customers are advised to check before they travel as there may be some short notice cancellations to services running on these days.   

"For more information about the strike and the services that will be affected, customers should visit: www.northernrailway.co.uk/travel/strikes," they said.
