All Line Rover first week of July

[Jan Mayen]

Time for another week long rover.
Please can anyone advise is there any industrial action (local or national) announced for 1-7 July?
And any areas which should be avoided due to staff shortages/landslips/other disruption?
And is the Jacobite now running properly?

Many thanks

The main issue will be the Overtime Ban on Northern, particularly if you're travelling around the North West.

It's making things unpredictable at best but on Sundays some lines are seeing no service at all.

Many thanks.
I'm likely to travel from Leeds for the Keighley And Worth Vallwy. I've done that twice without any problems.
However, I'm also thinking of traveling along the Esk Valley line to visit the NYMR.- perhaps not such a good idea?

I think you'll probably be fine. The West side of Northern (Manchester, Lancashire etc) and the East side (Yorkshire etc) have different staff contracts which means the East side is not affected much whereas the West side has been impacted a lot by the overtime ban.

Agreed. And if Whitby gets cancelled there's 2 frequent bus routes as well as the Coastliner.
