Strike action to disrupt rail services through Hucknall for next three Sundays

By Tom Surgay 9th Jun 2021

Strike action by Senior Conductors who are members of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) will affect three services which usually stop at Hucknall station.

The strike action will take place on the first three Sundays in June (6th, 13th and 20th) and will disrupt the following services on each date:

  • 0912 Nottingham to Mansfield Woodhouse
  • 1912 Nottingham to Mansfield Woodhouse
  • 0956 Mansfield Woodhouse to Nottingham

The result of this is that a rail replacement bus service will run in place of the cancelled train. This may mean that the timings are slightly different to the train. You can check the timing of your journey by clicking here .

In a statement of response to the strike they said: "East Midlands Railway is extremely disappointed RMT members have voted in favour of strike action in the midst of an international Covid pandemic and while benefitting from unprecedented levels of taxpayer support.

"This is the wrong decision for the railway, the East Midlands and the towns and cities EMR serves.

"The timing of the strike action deliberately coincides with the introduction of EMR's new timetable, which provides more seats and more services for the East Midlands – helping to encourage customers back to the railway and support the region's recovery from the Coronavirus pandemic."
