I am booked to travel on both upcoming Saturday Strike days, the 13th and 20th August, and when making my booking a while ago I chose to upgrade the Off-Peak ticket with weekend first. If the strike goes ahead, I have just seen on the National Rail website that tickets for travel can be used the day before....so in my case potentially I will be travelling the 12th and 19th (though may delay till the 21st)

With these dates being a Friday, will XC honour the upgrade I purchased and still allow travel in 1st class??

Niche case! Might be worth having a word with the Train Manager on/before boarding to explain. Worst case, you’d be able to get the Weekend First component refunded if you can’t use it.

I would certainly say so; ticket acceptance should mean exactly that.

What happened in the end? If you can update us that would be great

Unfortunately we had to cancel everything at the very last minute and so a full refund was sorted having not used the tickets at all in the end..but going by my enquiries at the time, the staff at the station were of the same opinion and that XC would have to honour the Weekend Upgrade as they were not providing in return what I had purchased in the first instance
