LNER has warned of industrial action this week, affecting train timetables across the country.
This means rail passengers will experience more travel disruption as union members strike in a dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.
Industrial action will be taking place on Wednesday, July 27 and Saturday, July 30.
There is also planned industrial action on Thursday, August 18 and Saturday, August 20.
This will impact the timetable on days either side of each strike date.
How will this affect rail-users in the North East?
When travelling on LNER trains between Tuesday, July 26 and Sunday, July 31, a reduced timetable will be running.
