Rail strikes

Tuesday, 4 October 2022 19:45

East Midlands Railway says all services to and from Loughborough Station will be affected on Wednesday 5th October.

East Midlands Railway is urging all train passengers to check before they travel as strikes from four unions significantly impact services at Loughborough station.

Members from RMT, TSSA, ASLEF and Unite will be taking strike action on Wednesday, 5 October up to and including Saturday, 8 October.

East Midlands Railway, which operates up to 43 trains per day from Loughborough to London as well as around 55 local services to Leicester will not run any trains on Wednesday 5th October as train drivers who are members of the ASLEF union will be taking industrial action over pay.

From Thursday up to and including Saturday, no trains will run east out of Nottingham - affecting anybody who wants to travel from Loughborough to Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
