Hide AdA spokesman for Northern Rail said: “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.
“If you travel on a strike day and experience a delay of 30 minutes or more to your journey, you are eligible to compensation through Northern’s Delay Repay scheme.
“Northern season ticket holders can also claim compensation on the days they do not travel using this process.”
