Planned industrial action to significantly disrupt East Midlands Railway Intercity and Connect services on Saturday 8 and 15 August
Period:Saturday, August 8 to Saturday, August 8
Operators:East Midlands Railway
Related Information:Industrial action is planned by the RMT union on Saturday 8 and 15 August.
There will be a significantly reduced train service operating to and from London St Pancras International on both of the above dates, with trains running between 07:00 and 19:00 only.
In addition to strike action, the RMT has also notified East Midlands Railway that members will be taking action short of strike (ASOS), from Sunday 2 to Friday 7 August (inclusive), Sunday 9 to Friday 14 August (inclusive) and also from Sunday 16 August until further notice. Trains may be subject to short notice alterations and cancellations.
To help maximise the number of seats available during the strike days, East Midlands Railway will temporarily declassify First Class on their Intercity services, allowing all customers to use the full seating capacity of each train.
