These were posted this afternoon:

Strikes have ended at LNER | LNER

There are no more strikes affecting LNER. Travel with confidence again.

To summarise strike days:

One train per hour between London and Edinburgh

One train per hour between London and Leeds

Last service from Edinburgh to London 1230 with other last end to end services over the next three hours.

I think it would be a reasonable assumption that all services that do run will be 9 car 80xs.

You would be correct. No Mk4s in use on strike days

I had an email not that long ago telling me my service on 23rd had been cancelled.
As the strike timetable is available for booking from Friday, am I correct in thinking that it will be "locked in" from then on even if the strike is called off?

Yes, at the beginning of Friday there will only be two working days to go after all.

One train per hour between London and Edinburgh

Forgive me, but it looks as though there's broadly 2tph northbound with a couple of gaps (0900 ex Kings X runs 20min earlier until York where it regains the XX55 path and there's no 1200 off Kings X), whilst southbound has 2tph from 0730 until 1100, then no 1130, a 1200 and 1230 then nothing until last train at 1430 for Tues/Thurs, whilst saturday is a mix of 2tph and 1tph

I am in Australia but a friend travelled yesterday (Saturday 25 June) from London to Durham and return, and was impressed how LNER managers or other office staff were serving refreshments in a first class car. He has a Eurailpass (accepted in UK since some time in 2019) and was very pleased with the catering and efficiency of the staff.

He told me patronage was lower than normal, probably because many prospective travellers perceived 'no trains would run'.

LNER still managed a half-hourly frequency. Hats off to it!

This is from LNER's website on Sunday. Only 1 train each way between Leeds and London it would appear? That'll be a fun service!

Frankly they'd be better off not providing any trains at all between Leeds and London if that's all they can muster up. I shudder to think how busy that train will be!

26 trains all day across the LNER route

I know they have disadvantages normally, but it would make sense, if operating such low capacity, to actually enforce the alleged compulsory reservations (with an element of oversell using counted places). It's a shame the misuse of the term on planners to manage ticket sales has brought this into disrepute.

The one train Leeds to London on Saturday is at 07:15, with the return from London at 17:03 by the way

 

[Allwinter_Kit]

Well, they released that so late (and it will be so rammed) that they achieved their objective. I'm now booked on a coach. Such joy.

 

[Sankey Wire]

Does anyone know when timetables will be published for 18/08 and 20/08, please?

 

[Fen Enthusiast]

I've been reading about no MK4 sets running on strike days, but on RTT for December 27th, it's showing multiple LNER services that are "Pathed as Electric Locomotive". Is this an error?

 

[Starmill]

The timing load can be used to give the option, even if an 801 is in fact diagrammed.

 

[800001]

For clarification. The only mk4 scheduled for 27th Dec is 1A49 Leeds to Kings Cross and 1N36 Kings Cross to York.

Is this likely to be the timetable for Sat 13th May? I've got an event to attend in Leeds that day, will be ok if this is the schedule but otherwise need to look at alternative ways of getting there.

I would expect first trains to depart between 0730-0800, with them all terminating around 1830-1900.

As this is a year old, I would be cautious - was it for an ASLEF strike or RMT (signallers)? The link doesn't seem to have any info now.

It's definitely possible, but sadly it can't be confirmed until much closer to the time. If you need to be certain now, I'd advise the only way to do that is to book an alternative.

LNER have now published the timetable for Sat 13th here: https://www.lner.co.uk/globalassets/catering/saturday-13-may-2023---strike-day-timetable---bid.pdf

Makes my trip possible (just!)
