ANGRY commuters and frustrated rail passengers are in for another day of disruption tomorrow as Northern heads in to its second day of strikes.

RMT announced industrial action would be taking place on October 3 and October 5 over proposed changes to the role of the conductor and a push towards driver-only trains, which they say is a safety concern.

The rail company have published a reduced timetable with only around 40 per cent of services in operation.

In a statement on their website, Northern said: "The majority of available trains will operate between 7am and 7pm, with services on some routes finishing earlier.

Rail bosses warn against busy services in South Cumbria during strike days

"During these hours the overall number of trains running will be significantly reduced.

"We expect trains and any replacement buses we operate will be extremely busy.

"Please allow extra time for journeys, plan carefully and consider whether travel is necessary."
