12/03/2017 Look North (Yorkshire)

Good evening. for the news where you are.

More than 1,000 rail services will be cancelled tomorrow

as members of the RMT union go on strike.

It's part of a dispute over plans to remove guards from trains.

The disruption is likely to make roads much busier than normal

It won't be such a straightforward journey for train passengers

tomorrow, when the members of the RMT strike.

The union are concerned about plans to change the role of guards -

currently they open and close doors when a train arrives at a station,

but Arriva North want a driver to do that on their own.

We believe that having a second person on all trains provides

assurances to the travelling public, and it's an additional safety

measure in the event that the driver becomes incapacitated.

If you are trying to get from Bradford Forster Square

into Leeds for a 9am start tomorrow, you might just make it.

If you are coming home after work, then your last train

But if you need to get home after work from Bradford to Ilkley,

The advice to passengers is to make alternative arrangements if you can,

It is a similar picture at stations across Yorkshire.

More than 1,000 services are cancelled.

There will be no services before 7am, and the last trains on most

They have got to get to work, the commuters,

and I understand them being upset, but what else can they do?

How are they going to get their voice heard?

It is not good for these people in general.

It will affect most of the activities that are going on.

For me, I think it is not the right decision, really.

If there are no guards, who will help them?

Who will be there with the passengers?

So, for public safety, it is better to have the guards there.

That is the issue that has sparked this dispute,

but Arriva North say drivers can operate doors safely on their own.

We put safety at the heart of everything that we do.

The Independent Rail Regulator has actually indicated that this

is as safe as conductor operation of the doors.

A tricky commute ahead for passengers tomorrow,

with unions warning that, if a deal can't be reached,

It's still a big problem and the cause of many deaths

A new campaign gets under way tomorrow.

Tune in tomorrow to see what we found when we went out

Now let's take a look at the weather.

A much colder night in store than we have had in recent nights.

A little bit of cloud to get out of the way with first,

but then we will be left with clear skies through the night.

Under the clear skies, the temperatures will be falling

to around four or five Celsius, but we could see a touch of frost

That does mean it's going to be quite a cold start tomorrow morning.

We will see some spells of sunshine during the morning,

clouding over from the north-west as we head into the afternoon,

but still the sunshine will break through, and temperatures tomorrow

will be getting up to a high of around 13 Celsius.

For the rest of the week, it looks fairly decent.

Lots of cloud around as we head into Tuesday,

We'll be back at 6.25am with the breakfast news.

But from all of us here, have a good night.

Good evening. For many places it was a fairly cloudy day on suspend but

there was sunshine for western areas during the afternoon, and here are

the clear skies at sunset in Northern Ireland. Thanks to weather

watcher Robin for this picture, those clear skies have been making

their way further east ward. Temperatures are dropping away, we

have seen temperatures of freezing in parts of Northern Ireland. More

cloud rolling in during the latter part of the night but towns and

cities down the five and six m the countryside many of us will see the

temperatures a degree or so above freezing, so a slight touch of frost

across the rural parts of England
