Is there anything 'special' about the 16th & 17th September, or is it just shifting attention to affecting more business travellers & therefore higher impact perhaps?
They've picked them specifically to mess with my travel plans; the one day I have to do Leicester to Saint Pancras and that's when they strike.

Anyone know if someone who had an advance ticket from Matlock to London on Sunday would be able to drive to Stafford and get on an Avanti train there instead? i.e. would the ticket still be valid?
A question for EMR. They are at liberty to decide what alternative transport is acceptable. Well, seconds to the courts anyway.

Similarly! :(

Thankfully National Express are to the rescue (and dare I say, I do increasingly enjoy coach travel compared to the lottery of rail travel, especially on EMR!)
