Rail strikes cancel most trains in Gedling borough on these two days next week

Most trains running through the borough have been cancelled on July 20 and 22

Train services are being hit by more strike action, with most services running through Gedling borough cancelled on July 20 and 22.

East Midlands Railway (EMR) has announced it will be running a significantly reduced service next week due to industrial action by members of the RMT union.

While an hourly service will run elsewhere on the network, no trains will operate on the Nottingham to Lincoln line which is used by Carlton and Burton Joyce station passengers.

Trains will be running between Nottingham and Skegness but will not call at Netherfield.

Newstead Station will be served by an hourly Robin Hood Line train.

There are no plans for rail replacement buses during the strikes.

Will Rogers, the Managing Director for East Midlands Railway, said: “We will be significantly reducing our services on Thursday and Saturday due to the ongoing strike organised by the RMT Union.

“Also between Monday, July 17, and Saturday, July 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 22:00 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 that 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.
