'Do not travel' warning issued by Northern Rail

No trains will run until Saturday on the Airedale Line

Northern Rail has issued a warning 'not to travel' on several routes including the Airedale Line due to Storm Éowyn.

There will no train services or replacement bus services between Skipton and Leeds or Bradford Forster Square until Saturday morning; and between Leeds – Settle – Carlisle until Sunday.

A spokesperson said:

"We advise customers to avoid travelling where possible on Friday 24 January and Saturday 25 January, due to high winds and rain likely to impact train travel.  

"If you do choose to travel make sure you check before travelling as trains may be cancelled at very short notice with onward connections not possible.

"Try not to rely on the last services of the day, as they may be cancelled, and bad weather may restrict road transport. 

"For some routes, we are advising do not travel. This means there are no trains or replacement bus services available."
