Burtonsheep Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Just been on the National Rail website to look at train times for Saturday, says there’s a planned strike? Expect delays, replacement buses and a reduced service. Anyone have any further info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It’s a strike on cross country services I think, shouldn’t be a massive problem as east mids run through Sheffield as well, just means they’ll be half the amount of trains getting us up there, if that route is affected. Won’t be an issue Sheffield onwards so hopefully we’ll be alright, I’m going up there myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Really earning that fare increase they just announced. There is a special circle of hell reserved for decision makers at UK based train franchises, one where they are subjected to eternal physical and mental torture.

Burtonsheep Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Thanks everyone, tried putting Sheffield to Barnsley in the journey planner and nothing flagged up as being a problem, so must just be Burton/Derby to Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenbyRam Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 There are less trains than usual from Sheffield to Derby Saturday evening. Even East Mids Trains have less than usual for some reason. There are direct trains from Barnsley to Chesterfield, Alfreton, Langley Mill, Ilkeston and Nottm though that are unaffected. I don't think there will be major issues, just busier than normal.

No roadworks on the M1 between Derby and Barnsley. Loads of xxxxxxx cameras though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
