In addition, the union has announced an overtime ban running from May 6 to May 11 that is also likely to affect some EMR services.

On all previous ASLEF strike days, no trains ran on Nottinghamshire routes on the EMR strike day and the same is likely to be the case again, meaning no mainline trains between Nottingham and London St Pancras, no regional services and no local services on the Robin Hood Line between Nottingham and Worksop.

Local bus services are unaffected and tram services between Nottingham, Hucknall and Bulwell will also run as normal.
