The planned strikes on Tuesday and Wednesday 27 and 28 August, by ASLEF drivers is set to go ahead. First North Western wishes to advise passengers that train services will not be running and that, although limited alternative buses will be operating, passengers are advised only to make journeys if absolutely necessary.
