Rail strikes tomorrow - what commuters in and around Greater Manchester need to know
This week will see the return of rail strikes as 15 train operators are set to stage two 48-hour walkouts.
“Everybody keeps telling me that I’ve caused massive disruption and I’m against the spirit of Christmas and all the rest of it. Services will start at the later time of 7.30am, with the last departures by 5pm. There will also be very few trains running on Thursday, January 5, due to the ASLEF train drivers' strike.
Passengers who must travel should check www.nationalrail.co.uk so they know exactly what to expect and for further ticket and refund information.A statement on their website says: “On these dates, customers should expect our timetable and operating hours to be reduced significantly, and note that services that do run are expected to be extremely busy. We strongly advise you to only travel by rail if absolutely necessary on strike days 3, 4, 6 and 7 January.
An advance ticket can also be exchanged for a voucher, valid for 12 months up until 30 September 2022. Visit the refunds page and choose ‘I have an Advance ticket’ to find out how to request a voucher. Revised timetables can be found on the CrossCountry website: www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/disruption.Customers are advised not to travel by Northern on the strike days, with no Northern trains on Thursday 5 January.
All refund requests must be made within 28 days of the ticket expiry date, and if you have a physical ticket this will need to be returned to the ticket retailer in order to obtain a refund.
