The Latest Breaking News from LNER

Following June’s widespread train cancellations, the UK will see three days of rail chaos due to strikes

Labour politicians joined train drivers on the picket line at Newcastle Central Station as industrial action saw rail services hit hard.

Passengers aboard an LNER train to Edinburgh were standing aboard the train for more than four hours according to a customer. He claims that the train into the capital was so crowded that passengers could not access toilets, and elderly travellers were unable to sit down during the journey.

The strike coincided with second day of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and the start of the English football league season

London Overground and Southeastern will run no trains at all, while LNER and GWR plan to operate on key lines from London to Edinburgh and Bristol respectively

Industrial action is planned for rail and Tube networks in July and August

LNER trains to Glasgow and further north of Scotland will be cancelled on Saturday July 30 due to strike action with disruption to follow as a result on Sunday.

Customers planning on travelling with LNER to and from Edinburgh have been urged to avoid travel by the train operator as strike action will see a limited number of trains run to the capital and a mass of cancellations.

Following a day of national travel chaos on Wednesday, more strikes are planned for the weekend.
