US EditionRail Passengers Warned of Significant Disruption over August Bank Holiday Weekend
The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers strike will stop all CrossCountry trains on August 23 and limit services on August 25, affecting routes across the UK.
- CrossCountry will suspend all train operations on Saturday, August 23, and offer a severely reduced service on Monday, August 25, primarily running between 8am and 6pm.
- The disruption is caused by strike action organised by the RMT union, with key staff such as train managers and senior conductors refusing to work on the specified dates.
- Train operations will be halted on routes connecting Birmingham to Reading and the southern coastline, as well as services linking Leicester, Cambridge, and Stansted Airport. Meanwhile, only minimal trains will operate toward destinations in the South West and areas north of York.
- Shiona Rolfe, who leads CrossCountry, expressed regret that no services will run on Saturday, advising passengers to verify their travel plans and prepare for crowded trains.
- Passengers are advised to avoid traveling on Saturday and to consider alternate arrangements, as some trips on Monday may experience delays due to scheduled engineering work in the West Midlands.
