As far as I can tell they're doing fairly well. Made a clear blanket statement before plans were finalised to alert passengers, now we have posters at stations and on trains, additional announcements warning that on strike days services will be very reduced with some lines unserved (both on and off train) and messages on platform CIS displays. The posters and announcements are asking passengers to vist www.northernrailway.co.uk/strike, which clearly states:No they didn't. They said "do not travel" - which, while accurate I suppose, does not really convey enough information for most people to be able to ascertain what's going on and what alternative plans they should make. They did not say "the vast majority of Northern stations won't see a single train on strike days, and here is a list of the few that will", which is what they really should be doing.
That's also linked right at the top of their website.A nationwide rail strike has been called by RMT union to take place for 3 days on Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 of June.
Customer safety is our priority, we advise you not to travel between Tuesday 21 and Sunday 26 June and make alternative plans.
There will be no replacement buses or alternative travel provided.
On strike days there will be extremely limited availability of both train crew and signalling staff and as such we will not be able to operate services on most routes. There will be no replacement buses or alternative travel provided.
Unfortunately, as we will not be able to position our fleet how we normally would, the significant impact of the strike will also be felt on non-strike days. Therefore, we regrettably advise customers not to travel on any day from Tuesday 21st through to Sunday 26th June.’
Where we are able to operate trains, services will be very limited, and trains will not start as early as normal and will finish much earlier than normal.
In addition, now the timetables are finalised they will begin to show on journey planners/the app.
