Passengers are being warned to make alternative plans as the next round of strikes cripple the rail network. East Midlands Railway (EMR) said there will be no regional services on Wednesday, May 31, and Saturday, June 3, and significantly limited services on Friday, June 2.
The stoppages are part of ongoing industrial action by members of the RMT and ASLEF unions over pay and conditions. The ASLEF action on May 31 and June 3 specifically affects train drivers which means EMR will be unable to operate any trains. The strikes will also affect other train companies and their services across the country.
Travellers should also expect possible cancellations or changes on Thursday, June 1, due to action short of striking by members of ASLEF.
