I am due to travel from Edinburgh to Cambridge on 31st August via Chesterfield and Leicester on advance split tickets (EDB-CHD,CHD-LEI,LEI-CBG). I have been informed that my train from chesterfield (18:12) has been cancelled due to industrial action and that all EMR services from chesterfield to Leicester afterwards are cancelled too.
Itinerary:
14:04 XC service Edinburgh to Chesterfield
18:13 EMR service Chesterfield to Leicester
19:15 XC service Leicester to Cambridge

Is it likely I will be permitted to alight from my first XC service early on the ECML and switch to a service to Peterborough where I can catch my original service to Cambridge.

I also have bike bookings for all these services. Is there a way to get these transferred to a replacement service?

Thank you

Who did you book with? Is it a through booking? If you booked through the forum site, let me know the services you want and I will see if bike spaces are available on those...

I booked through trainsplit. Are you able to check the 16:52 LNER from York to Peterborough? Will my advance tickets be accepted on these services due to the journey not being possible as booked?

16:55? It looks like bike space are not available on that service, but I will ask someone to check

(Trainsplit is the same as the forum's site; it's just that using the forum's site gives the forum a small amount of commission)
