Northern says that it expects around 30 per cent of its services to be running, and has advised passengers to check their journey times carefully.

On Sunday there will also be cancellations on some routes due to planned engineering works.

An RMT spokesman said: "This week one rail operator began rolling out the use of body worn cameras to counter and record violent and abusive behaviour. Northern want to axe the bodies themselves, the guards on their trains, let alone bring in new equipment to aid and support their front line staff."
