Short-Notice Cancellations Possible on Railway

CrossCountry announced increased short-notice cancellations on all routes starting Monday, June 9, across its network due to industrial action.
The cancellations are due to limitations on the working hours of train managers and senior conductors as a result of industrial action by RMT union members from June 9 to October 25.
RMT members refuse overtime and work on unscheduled days, causing disruption while CrossCountry strives to maintain services and urges customers to check journeys.
Richard Morris, who leads service delivery at CrossCountry, apologized to customers affected by the disruptions and warned that from Monday, June 9, there would be an increased number of service cancellations on all routes.
The industrial action could prolong service disruptions, implying ongoing travel uncertainty and the importance of customers monitoring updates from CrossCountry and National Rail.
