Northern Ticket Acceptance & Northern special offers

[mikeg]

Hi chaps and chappesses, I think I know the answer to this (i'm presuming no), but would a Northern special offer ticket be included in the blanket Northern ticket acceptance as outlined in this URL? https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/news/latest-news/1894-ticket-acceptance

Northern tickets will now be accepted on a number of other train companies' services until 29 July 2018.

This means if your Northern train is delayed or cancelled, you can use your ticket to travel on the below train companies’ services:

    TransPennine Express
    Virgin Trains
    Merseyrail
    Virgin Trains East Coast
    CrossCountry
    East Midlands Trains

Would strike action count as cancellation?

I see nothing to exclude them

If the strike action causes your booked/chosen service to be delayed or cancelled then I would presume you are entitled to use another TOC's services as is reasonable to complete your journey.

Previously, the answer has been yes. Staff are on the whole reasonable and just want to get you where you need to be.
