What did the officials say?
Sharon Keith, our Regional Director, said: “We've developed our strike timetables to give customers the best possible choice and flexibility and are now able to offer good links between three great northern cities.”
Sharon added: “We will operate more rail services than ever before for a Saturday RMT strike and are doing everything we can to keep the north of England on the move.”
