I have a holiday planned and hotel booked in Aberdeen from 22nd-31st May. The day I’m due to travel back, Wednesday 31st May, is one of the ASLEF strike days. If I was able to extend my stay by one or two nights, how might a journey back to Nottingham be on either Thursday 1st or Friday 2nd June. Bearing in mind it is a Bank Holiday Week and a school holiday and there’s another strike on Saturday 3rd June. The hotel has been booked at a cancellable rate and I could just cancel and try again in the autumn but I would like to go this month if possible. Would I find too much disruption or overcrowded trains on 1st or 2nd June. I’m intending using a flexible Off Peak Return and so can be fairly flexible about which route I take. I wasn’t intending using XC but perhaps the 0820 from Aberdeen as far as Sheffield could be an option, as with it starting at Aberdeen and no changes, I ought to be able to get a seat for the whole journey quite easily if it’s running.
