Disruption to Cambridgeshire's train services

Strikes will be affecting those travelling by rail on Monday 8 April.

The walk out's happening due to industrial action by the ASLEF union around pay and working arrangements.

• Thameslink will be running a shuttle service between London St Pancras and Luton.
• Great Northern will also be running a limited shuttle service, but only between London King's Cross and Cambridge.
• Greater Anglia will run to and from London Liverpool Street to Stansted airport, Colchester, Southend, Ipswich and Norwich.

Operators expect trains to be busier than usual, especially during peak hours and are asking passengers to allow for extra time for their journeys. 

Jamie Burles, Greater Anglia's Managing Director said:

"Unfortunately on the 8 April, no services will run at all on most Greater Anglia routes, with just an hourly service during normal operating hours on the Stansted Airport to London route and an hourly service for limited hours on the Norwich to London, Colchester to London and Southend Victoria to London routes, plus a few services between Cambridge and London Liverpool Street.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by these service alterations".

Jenny Saunders, Govia Thames Link's Customer Services Director said: 

"We're really sorry for the disruption this strike action will have on our customers, especially as it coincides with the Easter school holidays.

I strongly urge customers to check every journey, until Tuesday 9 April, so they aren't caught out".
