Services are not expected to start before 7am and will be winding down between 5-7pm.
A spokesman for Northern said: " Northern is doing everything it can to keep people on the move during the strike action planned for 13 March.
"We will provide a limited number of train services. The services we will provide are based on the availability and location of Northern employees who are trained conductors. Wherever possible, we are also focussing services on our busiest routes into major towns and cities.
