Trains from Gedling borough will be cancelled tomorrow and on Saturday as a huge walkout of railway staff cripples the network.
Strike action is planned on Thursday, August 18 and Saturday, August 20.
During both strike days no services will run from Burton Joyce, Carlton, Newstead or Netherfield stations.
Rail Replacement Bus (RRB) services will not be provided where lines are closed as there is not enough capacity to meet demand.
Neil Grabham, customer services director for East Midlands Railway, said: “We are extremely disappointed that both RMT and TSSA have decided to opt for counterproductive strikes rather than working with the industry to find a deal that is acceptable for our people, our passengers and for taxpayers.
“As a result, there will be significant changes to our normal timetable, with differences between the timetables on Thursday, August 18 and Saturday, August 20. Some parts of our network will have no train services at all, and other lines will have a reduced level of service.
“I would urge all customers to think carefully about their journeys next week – and make alternative arrangements if possible.”
