Service Alert - Service Information: 27 September - 1 October

Advice for rail users affected by RMT action: 27 September until 1 October

The RMT Union has announced further industrial action that would affect CrossCountry services from the start of Friday 27 September until the end of Tuesday 1 October. We remain in discussions with the RMT to seek a resolution and customers are advised to check our website for the latest travel information.

If this action goes ahead then on most days there would be little impact on our services. However, services on Sunday 29 September would be severely restricted. Seat reservations have been suspended and alternative arrangements are being prepared and will be made available here when finalised.

Benefits of CrossCountry Advance tickets

They’re our best value tickets. Generally the earlier you book, the better value they’ll be.
You will be reserved on a specific train and get a reserved seat.
They’re available for journeys in Standard & First Class.
You can get your Advance ticket as an e-Ticket or m-Ticket (or get it as a traditional paper ticket – the choice is yours)
You can get Railcard discounts on top of our already discounted fares**

Check details and book early as Advance tickets are subject to limited availability. Advance tickets are normally released 12 weeks before the departure date of the train. You must travel on your booked service or the ticket will not be valid.

You can now change your Advance ticket for free

We know your plans sometimes change. That’s why CrossCountry offer free changes to your Advance tickets, as long as you book an eligible ticket through our website, mobile site or Train Tickets app. Find out how to change your Advance ticket for free here.

Railcard Discounts**

Senior, Two Together, HM Forces and Disabled Persons Railcard holders can save 1/3 on First and Standard Class Advance tickets. 16-25 and Family & Friends Railcard holders can save 1/3 on all Standard Class Advance tickets.
