Rail travel is set to be seriously disrupted in Sheffield at the weekend with train drivers at 14 companies set to strike on Saturday, November 26

Rail travel is set to be seriously disrupted in Sheffield this weekend due to strike action, with East Midlands Railway (EMR) announcing it has cancelled all its services on Saturday (November 26). It comes after “an overwhelming majority” of members of the ASLEF train drivers’ union were balloted and voted to strike over pay earlier this year.

An EMR spokesperson confirmed that the firm “will not operate” any services, many of which run through Sheffield, on Saturday. EMR is just one of 14 companies that employ ASLEF members, so services across the country are set to be affected.

The full list of rail companies that will strike on November 26 are as follows:
