Passengers warned of ‘significant disruption’ as CrossCountry strike looms

CrossCountry passengers are being warned to expect “significant disruption” due to strike action.

The disruption is due to a second day of industrial action by RMT union members, affecting all parts of the CrossCountry network.

No CrossCountry trains will stop at Wolverhampton, Worcestershire Parkway, Wakefield Westgate or Chesterfield, and other station stops will be limited.

Shiona Rolfe, managing director of CrossCountry, said: “We are disappointed for our customers that the RMT is undertaking a second day of planned industrial action this autumn.

“While we will try to run as many services as possible, customers will inevitably face significant disruption.

“We are committed to reaching an agreement with the RMT and remain available to continue talks.”

Passengers are advised to check their journeys before they travel.

Engineering work will also affect services between Birmingham and Reading, and between Leeds and Darlington.
