Several railway stations will close across the region this weekend as national strikes halt services.

Co-ordinated industrial action by multiple rail unions will mean that no trains can operate north of York on Saturday, October 1 and no trains can operate north of Newcastle on Saturday, October 8. 

Passengers are strongly advised to check before they travel and only travel by train if necessary.

There will also be changes to services on the intervening days as workers return to their duties, so passengers should continue to check before they travel via their train operator’s website throughout the week.

Major engineering work in Newcastle will continue as planned between Saturday 1 and Monday, October 10. This essential work will be going ahead despite the strikes to deliver the benefits as soon as possible and minimise future disruption.
