Strike action affecting EMR could leave people stranded
Visitors to the Lincoln Christmas Market are facing late headaches to arrange travel, following the announcement of strike action affecting East Midlands Railway this weekend.
Amusements are also at the market, including a gigantic Ferris wheel. | Photo: Steve Smailes for The Lincolnite “We are advising customers to plan ahead and only travel by rail if absolutely necessary on strike days. Customers are also strongly advised to check when the time of their last train is before setting off, understand how the strike action affects their whole journey and take note of the impact of planned engineering works.Alternative travelNot all rail users will be left stranded by Unite’s strike action, as, another train operator key to Lincolnshire’s rail network.
It will be signposted on all approach roads, and all buses drop off close to the Museum of Lincolnshire Life – with the service running on a fill and go basis, or every seven minutes, whichever is sooner. “The strike seems to be maintenance staff and its clear to passengers that vehicles that are left overnight at Lincoln or Boston get little attention hence their often dirty condition next day. Why they can’t run those trains is beyond me and it just seems an excuse.
