William has today called on Northern and the RMT Union to get round the table to find a resolution to the ongoing dispute.
William said: "Passengers deserve and expect a decent and reliable train service. My constituents, and indeed passengers across the Northern network, have already faced a summer of disruption. To compound this with a fresh set of strikes over three weekends, including the final bank holiday, is to add insult to injury for my constituents and will attract little public sympathy for either side in this dispute."
William added: "Today, I therefore again urge Northern and the RMT Union to resolve these matters as soon as possible."
Attached are the letters sent to David Brown, the Managing Director of Northern, and Mick Cash- the General Secretary of the RMT Union.
