Update: Rail strike information – 5, 7 & 9 November

Please note, this story has been updated to reflect the newly announced strike dates; 5, 7 and 9 November. 

Students travelling to, from, and within the Liverpool City Region are being urged to check rail services before they travel, ahead of planned strike action by members of the RMT union.

Significant disruption on the rail network is expected across three dates in November on:

  • Saturday, 5 November 2022
  • Monday, 7 November 2022
  • Wednesday, 9 November 2022

Industrial action is also set to affect Avanti West Coast services on Sunday, 6 November 2022.

Passengers are being warned to expect a very limited service on the dates listed above with no services at all on some routes.  Disruption should also be expected on the days that follow strike action (Sunday 6, Tuesday 8 and Thursday 10 November) due to the knock-on impact of industrial action on shift patterns.

Please visit the Network Rail website for up to date industrial action information.

Remember to plan your journeys ahead of time and check services by visiting Network Rail or your train operating company’s website before you travel.
