Football fans will be among those hit by disruption on the trains this weekend as workers stage a walk-out.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at TransPennine Express (TPE) will take industrial action on Sunday in a dispute over pay.
An amended timetable will be in place, with passengers urged to consider if their journey is necessary. Further 24-hour strikes will be held on February 27 and March 6.
Fans travelling by train to the Leeds v Manchester United game at Elland Road on Sunday were being advised to allow plenty of time to get to the ground.
The rail operator said anyone planning to travel during the strikes, should check carefully, right up to the last minute, as services may be subject to short notice changes.
TPE said it will operate a limited service on routes including York to Scarborough, Hull/Leeds to Manchester, Edinburgh to Newcastle and Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield.
Kathryn O'Brien, customer experience director for TPE, said: "This will be the second weekend that the RMT has chosen to disrupt people's journeys, including those heading to events such as the Leeds United v Manchester United game.
"We are going to do all we can to keep people moving under difficult circumstances but, as with last Sunday, we simply will not be able to operate a timetable that provides a regular service.
"We will continue to review our strike response timetables and will seek to provide additional services where possible.
"Anyone planning on using the train this Sunday is urged to only do so if they absolutely have to. If your journey is vital, plan and check carefully before travelling and allow plenty of extra time. The trains we are running are likely to be far busier than normal."
A spokesperson for Northern said: "We will endeavour to absorb the additional passengers however anyone thinking of travelling on these services should prepare for them to be very busy and they may want to consider travelling at alternative times."
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "TPE conductors who kept the trains running throughout the pandemic have been left with no choice but to take strike action after being given a flat no to their reasonable request to close the pay gap between themselves and other TransPennine workers by bosses who have mostly been at home throughout the Covid crisis.
"To add insult to injury conductors on Northern Trains working alongside TPE conductors have reached agreement for a small payment of 2p for a new method of checking tickets. Meanwhile, TPE conductors have modestly asked for and been refused the same small payment for doing these checks.
"Our members refuse to be treated unfairly and will be continuing with industrial action until the pay discrimination is dealt with."
