Due to this, only Northern services are affected.
Services that will run
Train services operated by Grand Central, East Midlands Trains, TransPennine Express, Virgin Trains and CrossCountry will run as normal.
Northern will run some trains on the day of the planned strike, therefore the majority will operate from 9am to 5pm. This will affect people planning on travelling to the Grand National at Aintree.
Advice for travellers:
- Allow extra time for your journey
- public transport and roads expected to to be busier than usual because of the strike
- journeys are likely to take longer.

- by bus (Elland Road Park & Ride bus service will be closed because Leeds United are playing at home on Saturday 8 April.)
- by bike using some of the UK’s best cycling infrastructure.
- sharing a vehicle with friends, colleagues or neighbours.
- riding and walking some of your journey.
