Thursday, 23 January 2025 10:53

LNER services through Harrogate may be affected by Storm Éowyn.

A train operator has warned Harrogate passengers that services may be affected by the incoming strong winds.

LNER has said that the arrival of Storm Éowyn tomorrow (Friday) is expected to cause “widespread disruption” across the rail network.

There’s currently an amber weather warning in place, with gusts reaching up to 70mph in some parts of the Harrogate district.

And train operator LNER, which connects Harrogate with London, said services north of York will be “subject to short-notice cancellation and significant delay.”

It also said that alternative travel options will be limited due to the nature of the weather.

An LNER spokesperson said:

“We are advising customers not to travel to and from stations north of York on Friday.

“Customers can find the latest information and alternative travel options, which will be regularly updated, on LNER’s website.

“Customers travelling with other train operators should check their journey via their websites and social media channels.”
