Rail strike dates announced

The next dates for National rail strikes are on Wednesday 1st February and Friday 3rd February 2023.

Industrial action is being taken by members of the ASLEF union and train drivers with the RMT union.

As this strike action specifically affects train drivers, it means that EMR will be unable to operate any trains during the action.

This action will also affect other train operating companies and their services across the country on these days.

EMR services on the days around the strike action will run as normal.

Journey planners will be updated online on Wednesday 25 January.
