Manchester to Newcastle - Train cancellations on Sunday

[jimharri]

Yea it's 24 hours mate,and we was coming on train as well,but I booked car park yesterday,since found out that Northern and Transpennine are not involved in this strike............yet.

If they are running we will come in on train though.

Yeah; just checked. East Midlands also operate a service, and they're not on the list. But they're balloting in mid sept.

How will we even know if Northern join the strike?

Northern and TPE seem to be falling apart on the days around the strikes mate. Had a cancelled TPE train with the next one delayed on Tuesday and two Northern Rail trains cancelled when I eventually got to Oxford Road. Ended up getting the taxi.

Hey don't knock Northern. They always get me to the game on time.

A union has to give 14 days notice to strike.

Because there are 16 days for things to change i suppose

And don't worry,if you don't see it on the telly or hear it on a radio,I will gladly inform you more nearer the time if you like

Northern drivers (Aslef) won't be able to strike.
They have to do the ballot for strike again due to management getting an injunction blocking the result of the first vote. Same happened at TPE.
Northern drivers vote is not now due back until 25th August. So earliest strike day would then be 14 days after that.
