🚂🚫 Rail Strikes Alert! 🚫🚂
Heads up, folks! If you’re planning to travel with CrossCountry this bank holiday weekend, you might want to rethink your plans. Rail strikes are set to cause major disruption, with the RMT union downing tools on Saturday, August 23 and Monday, August 25.
Here’s the scoop:
– **Saturday is a no-go zone**, with zero services running all day.
– **Monday will see a very limited service** between 8am and 6pm. Expect packed trains!
Unfortunately, there will be no CrossCountry trains from Birmingham to the south coast, or between Leicester and Stansted Airport. The southwest of England and north of York will only see a skeleton service.
If you desperately need to get somewhere, it’s best to leave before Saturday or after the chaos has settled. For those who still plan to brave the journey, make sure to check the latest updates on the CrossCountry or National Rail websites before setting off.
CrossCountry is urging passengers to be prepared and understand the severe disruptions that lie ahead. They’re hopeful for a resolution with the RMT but for now, it’s all about adapting.
Stay informed, share this with your travelling buddies, and let’s navigate this bank holiday with a bit of patience and a lot of planning. Safe travels (eventually)! 🚄✨
