Short-Notice Cancellations Possible on Railway
- CrossCountry will experience increased short-notice cancellations starting Monday, June 9, due to planned industrial action across its network.
- The industrial action arises after CrossCountry refused to negotiate overtime and rest day work enhancements, prompting RMT members to restrict working hours.

- Passengers are advised to check journeys in advance and consult CrossCountry or National Rail Enquiries for updates as cancellations may continue until at least October 25.
