East Midlands Railway will be running a significantly reduced level of service on three upcoming days of industrial action. On Saturday, November 5, Monday, November 7, and Wednesday, 9 November, customers are advised to only travel if absolutely necessary due to industrial action by members of the RMT and TSSA Unions.
On these days EMR services will only run between the hours of 7.30am and 6.30pm, with the last departures starting between 3:30pm and 4:30pm. No services will run east out of Nottingham on these days, which will affect regional customers who might want to travel to Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
Will Rogers, Managing Director for East Midlands Railway, said: "As a result of the industrial action from members of the RMT and TSSA Unions our services will be significantly reduced on November 5, 7 and 9. Weekend services will also be affected by Network Rail's engineering works between Luton and London.

"We are advising customers to plan ahead and only travel by rail if absolutely necessary on strike days. Customers are also strongly advised to check when the time of their last train is before setting off and understand how the strike action affects their whole journey.
"More detailed advice, including daily travel information, is available on our website."
Strike action will also affect other routes across the country on the days of industrial action, with there being very limited services running on the rail network. As in previous strikes, EMR has been working with colleagues to ensure they can deliver a reliable service where possible.
However, customers are strongly advised to check the EMR website, information in stations and social media for the latest advice and information regarding travelling on these days.
On Saturday, November 5 and Sunday, November 6, Network Rail will also be closing the lines between London and Luton to undertake vital engineering works. During these days all EMR Intercity services will terminate at Luton and Rail Replacement Buses will be available.
