Just a heads up for anyone planning journeys on EMT Local 15x services tomorrow, short notice alterations are that all Nottingham to Mansfield Woodhouse 'short' services (except the 2305 from Nottingham) are cancelled leaving just the hourly Worksop trains and many other services except Liverpool will operate with fewer carriages with standby buses being in place and particular issues being expected Nottingham - Grantham - Skegness and Newark - Matlock with it being half term.
Apparently a critical need not to short form Liverpool services due to public order issues with the Northern strike combined with leaf fall wheel set damage has left the fleet beyond even the usual shaky state with insufficient units available for traffic to run the planned service.
Further alterations may appear during the day and passengers are bring asked not to travel unless necessary between Nottingham and Liverpool.
Further info below. Another delightful Saturday no doubt awaits.
