Possible strike/disruption on XC services by RMT members this coming Sunday:
Hopefully it doesn't catch many members out who might have wanted to head out on a day trip somewhere, or even making use of the train

Unfortunately, the RMT union has called a possible strike for Sunday 19 November that could significantly affect CrossCountry train services.
We are still engaged with the union in talks, so remain hopeful that the matter can be resolved without the need for a strike. As soon as the outcome of these talks is known we will inform our customers, hopefully by lunchtime on Thursday, of any changes to our services.
If the strike were to go ahead, we would only be able to operate a reduced service between 09:00 and 19:00, but using some longer trains. Some services would finish earlier than normal and some stations will have no CrossCountry services, although alternative travel arrangements are being prepared. Even so, with fewer trains available we expect all our services, and any replacement bus services, to be very busy.
If you travel and your service is delayed by 30 minutes or more, you will be eligible for Delay Repay compensation. You can make your claim using our online form or by collecting a form from any staffed station.
Our priority will be to keep you informed, updated and on the move, so please check this page again for up to date information before you travel. We have listed answers to some general questions, such as refunds, alternative routes and travel options, here. You may also find helpful information through on our Twitter and Facebook pages, or by contacting our Customer Relations team on 03447 369123 (please choose option 3)
