Strike Action To Cancel Rail Services Through Market Harborough
Written by HFM News on 29th April 2024
There will be no rail services through Market Harborough next Wednesday due to strike action.
East Midlands Railway has announced it will be unable to run any trains on May 8th because drivers are walking out in their long running dispute over pay and conditions.
The firm is also warning of potential short-notice cancellations all next week due to the ASLEF union members refusing to work overtime.

The strike is part of a programme of industrial action affecting 18 train companies nationwide.
Will Rogers, Managing Director of East Midlands Railway, said: “This approach from the ASLEF union means different parts of the network and different train operating companies are affected at different times.
“Unfortunately we cannot run any services on Wednesday, 8 May. However, during the days affected by action short of strike we plan to run a normal timetable.
“Customers are advised to check our website to understand how their whole journey is affected before setting off and expect possible disruption or late notice cancellations.”
