Over 40,000 Network Rail staff and 14 train operators are expected to join the strike.
Passengers are urged “not to travel” as only a small number of routes will have trains.
Routes that will be open include Liverpool to Alderley Edge; York to Leeds; and Darlington to Saltburn.There will only be a very limited service, with just these routes open: Manchester Airport to Preston; Manchester Piccadilly to York; Newcastle to Edinburgh; and Cleethorpes to Sheffield.Meanwhile a new bus route connecting Leeds with London and Scotland has launched in a bid to help travellers avoid rail and airport chaos this summer.
The FlixBus service runs daily between London, Edinburgh and Glasgow, with one-way tickets from £3.99, although £10 to £20 is more common.FlixBus UK managing director Andreas Schorling said: “While airports and airlines cancel flights, we’re adding even more journeys on our reliable, eco-friendly network.”Arriva bus services will be running as normal connecting Leeds with Wakefield and Dewsbury.
The long running industrial action involving Arriva bus drivers ended after they accepted a vastly improved pay offer.
