Train operator Northern, which runs services across Greater Manchester and the north west, has issued a travel warning to passengers ahead of further planned strike action on the railways next week.
The RMT union announced earlier this week it had suspended all industrial action for Network Rail workers after receiving a new pay offer. But Northern said the RMT strike for members working for a total of 14 train operating companies including themselves remained in place.
As a result, it has advised all passengers to check before they travel on two dates next week - Thursday, March 16 and Saturday, March 18 - saying a 'skeleton service' would run.
