CrossCountry is urging its customers not to find alternative travel options for Wednesday the 1st and Friday the 3rd of February as planned strike action by ASLEF and RMT takes place.
The industrial action will see extreme disruption throughout the rail network and because of this, the rail operator will not be able to run any services for the 1st and 3rd of February, however, normal services will be in operation on the day surrounding the strike action.
Tom Joyner, Managing Director at CrossCountry said: “We are saddened that industrial action continues to cause disruption on our network and would like to express our apologies to our passengers who will be affected. We are committed to finding a resolution so that we can ensure the railway is sustainable, now and in the future, and hope we can reach an agreement soon. We urge passengers to make alternative travel arrangements on strike days, and to check our website for the most up-to-date information around disruption, and plan ahead.”

Has it got to the point where it is no use commenting on the strikes. Cross Country is one operator where you might struggle to find an alternative way of getting to your destination if you couldn’t drive.The major selling point of CC is that should take you on that long journey without changing , driving etc,etc.Like the rest of the railway, the strikers might find that many of us do not want to risk travel by train ever again.
