Passengers are warned there will be no rail services to and from Gedling borough stations this Friday (1) and Saturday (2) due to strike action.

Nationwide strike action by members of the ASLEF and RMT unions will severely affect travel on the East Midlands Railway network over the two days.

On EMR, there will be no service on Friday and an“extremely limited service” operating on a small number of lines on Saturday.

There will be no services to or from Burton Joyce, Carlton, Netherfield or Newstead over the two days.

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

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

Will Rogers, managing director for East Midlands Railway, said: “On Friday, September 1, we will run no services due to industrial action by ASLEF – the train drivers union. 

“While on Saturday, September 2, we will be significantly reducing our services due to action by members of the RMT Union.

“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.
