East Midlands Railway is warning passengers its services will be significantly reduced due to industrial action by members of the RMT union.

Tomorrow, July 20, and also on Saturdays, July 22 and 29, many of its routes will be reduced to one train an hour and will only run between 7.30am and 6.30pm, with the last departures starting between 3pm and 4.30pm..

On Friday and Saturday, July 21-22, there will also be a number of train cancellations due to action short of a strike by the ASLEF union – this could be as late as 10pm the day before customers travel.

During this period, customers are strongly advised to regularly check if their train is running before setting off.

Customers are being advised to travel by rail only if absolutely necessary and should be aware that strike action will affect other routes across the country, with very limited services running across the whole rail network.

If a customer’s train is cancelled or delayed or they choose not to travel due to strike action, tickets can be changed to another date, or they can be returned for a full refund at their point of purchase. No administration

fee will be charged.

Will Rogers, EMR managing director, said: “We will be significantly reducing our services on July 20, 22 and 29, due to the ongoing strike organised by the RMT Union.

“On July 21 and 22, there will also be a number of train cancellations due to action short of a strike by the ASLEF union – customers should be aware services can be cancelled as late as 10pm the day before.

“Due to this, we strongly advise customers to check if their train is running before setting off and consider rail travel only if absolutely necessary during the strike days.

“It is recommended customers check the departure time of their last train before embarking on their journey and familiarise themselves with the overall impact of the strike on their entire route.”
