Travellers in the region are facing further disruption as a result of strike action by railway workers.The action will affect services in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, including operators East Midlands Railway , Cross Country and LNER.EMR said it would have contingency plans in place and would aim to run as many services as possible but there would be a significantly reduced level of service throughout the day.
It said Thursday's services would also be affected, starting after 07:00 with some reductions throughout the day.Will Rogers, managing director for East Midlands Railway, said: "We are disappointed the RMT has again decided to opt for counterproductive strikes rather than working with the industry to find a deal that is acceptable for our people, our passengers and for taxpayers.
LNER said it would have only limited services stopping at Newark and Grantham and that passengers should check before travelling.
