I shall be travelling from St Pancras to Derby next Friday (4th September) on the 11.32 EMR service.

The return journey is on the following Sunday (6th September), & I'm taking the 10.26 from Derby to Nottingham, where it becomes the 11.10 to St Pancras.

Both journeys are using Advance Singles.

Obviously, I'm not affected by the strike days, but the 'Action Short of Strike' might do, so what effect is ASOS having on journeys to & From Derby?

As the Derby to Nottingham train becomes my Nottingham to St Pancras train, can I remain in my seat, or do I need to get off & reboard

Thoughts & advice most welcome.

If your train is cancelled then you can take the next EMR service.

You don't have to get off, unless the traincrew lock the train between services, I would be aware of any last minute set swaps (unlikely)

Seems a long way to go round instead of going direct from Derby

Thanks.

EMR website says If your booked service is cancelled or is running with fewer carriages than usual, you can travel on up to two earlier or two later EMR services.

My question would be what number of carriages would the 11.32 from St Pancras to Derby normally have?

Last Friday, 28 August, it had 5. It would not be unreasonable to think this was operating as booked.

Thanks.

It seems like 5 coaches is pretty much the norm outside of the peak at the moment for the St Pancras to Derby trains.

Out of interest, would these have been longer this time last year?
