Reduced train services to run from Milton Keynes Central on these days as further strike action takes place

Monday, 13 March 2023 15:07

Four more days of industrial action are set to take place this month, affecting rail travel to and from Milton Keynes Central.

Milton Keynes passengers are set to be affected by four more strike days as RMT battle over pay offers. It has been said that there will be 'less disruption' than there has been on previous strike days.

There will be reduced services on Thursday 16 March, Saturday 18 March, Thursday 30 March and Saturday 1 April due to further strike action, with 18 train operating companies expected to be affected.

Members at Network Rail were due to join strikes on 16th March, but this action has since been suspended due to a new pay offer.

It has also been announced that a 'significant' amount of engineering work will be taking place at London Euston over the Easter weekend, further affecting train services to and from Milton Keynes.

No trains are set to run between London Euston and Milton Keynes Central from Friday 7th April to Monday 10th April with the West Coast Main Line closed up to MK.

Engineering work will be taking place between the stations over the Easter weekend.

Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway lines are set to be most affected.

Some train companies are also set to be making changes to their timetable, and to some train times, to match services to the number of customers travelling.
