    I think you are mistaken. The previous strikes involve rail workers who are now in negotiations. The strike on 30th July is with the train drivers' union Aslef.

    And those others have just announced their own further strikes, one being on 20 August, the day we are at Hartlepool.

    Workers at Network Rail and 14 train operators are going on strike on 18th and 20th August, so this time it could cause issues for those travelling to the Hartlepool match

    Yes, it looks like Northern are not currently affected. I've update the original post accordingly.

    i'm going off the statement on ASLEF website
    "ASLEF members at eight companies – Arriva Rail London; Chiltern Railways; Greater Anglia; Great Western; Hull Trains; LNER; Southeastern; and West Midlands Trains – will strike on Saturday 30 July."
    The only mention of Northern Rail is further down when it says "Further ballots close at Avanti West Coast and CrossCountry on Wednesday 27 July; and at Northern Trains; TransPennine Express; and Transport for Wales on Thursday 25 August."
