Overview

• RMT members at CrossCountry have imposed a work-to-rule ban on overtime/rest day shifts for weekdays and Saturdays
• The industrial action runs from June 9 through October 25 with short-notice cancellations expected on all routes except Sundays when the ban is lifted
• Key routes such as Manchester Piccadilly to Bristol Temple Meads, Nottingham to Cardiff Central and the new Plymouth to Glasgow Central service are likely to face cancellations
• The union launched the action after CrossCountry declined to negotiate enhanced pay rates for overtime and rest day duties and to grant proper recognition for its members
• CrossCountry has urged passengers to verify travel plans on the carrier’s website or National Rail Enquiries before departure and on the day of travel
