Strike action on EMR trains called off

Strike action on the railways planned for next week has been called off

East Midlands Railway (EMR), operated by Transport UK, now says it will run a full timetable on Wednesday, September 16, and Thursday, September 17, after union RMT suspended planned strike action.

Philippa Cresswell from EMR said: “We welcome the suspension of the planned strike action and the opportunity this provides to continue our discussions with the RMT to fully resolve the dispute in a constructive way.”

Action short of striking from RMT members is still in place, which means trains may be subject to short notice alterations and cancellations.

Customers are advised to check EMR’s website for the latest information.
