RAIL passengers will be affected by further strike action this Saturday.

It will be the third time Northern Rail workers have gone out on strike in a a week.

The train operator will run around 850 services on Saturday to keep as many customers on the move as possible.

But, in some areas, train services will be not be available and Northern is asking customers to plan ahead and consider their travel options.

As part of this there will be no trains between Clitheroe and Blackburn, along with other routes.

Sharon Keith from Northern said: “As a result of the RMT strike action, we are running a limited timetable on Saturday.

“Many of our managers and other volunteers will be working hard at the end of a busy and demanding week to operate as contingency conductors on Saturday so that we can provide as many rail – or rail replacement bus – services as possible.

"However, customers should be aware that we are running fewer trains than normal and all trains that we are able to run are likely to be extremely busy.
