There’s another rail strike this Wednesday 27 July, with another one on the Saturday 30th of the month and more to follow in August.
Once again services in North Yorkshire will be limited.
Selby, Harrogate and Malton stations will be closed, as will some of the smaller rural stops on those routes.
While Network Rail says thousands of specially-trained back-up staff will step in during the walkout to keep some routes open.
The action has been called by rail unions in a dispute over pay and conditions.
Here is what each operator is saying about their train services.
LNER in York, Harrogate, Selby (Once daily) and Northallerton
Wednesday 27 July strike day:
LNER will be running a reduced service of two trains per hour between Edinburgh and London, and one train per hour between Leeds and London (in both directions).
If your train has changed or been cancelled, and you still want to travel, you can complete your journey on any train via the same route as your original ticket. If you wish to travel on a different day, your original ticket will also be valid for travel on Tuesday 26 July or up to Tuesday 2 August.

Saturday 30 July:
LNER will be running an extremely limited service and recommends that you only travel if absolutely necessary.
If your journey has been affected LNER recommends travelling on Friday 29 July or up to Tuesday 2 August instead, as close to your original times as possible with your original tickets. LNER recommend making a new seat reservation.
If your train is running but you no longer wish to travel on 30 July, your ticket will also be valid on alternative LNER services on Friday 29 July or up to Tuesday 2 August.
Due to an extremely limited timetable on Saturday 30 July, whether your train has been cancelled or is still running and you decide not to travel, you can request a refund to your original payment method.
