Train staff working at rail operator CrossCountry will be taking strike action on Saturday 18 October.

It means that there will be no CrossCountry services through Oakham on this day, with 'significant disruption' expected.

CrossCountry manages Oakham station, and runs trains on the busy Birmingham to Cambridge route which includes Oakham.

The strikes are being organised by the RMT union (the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers).

The union also has strikes planned for 1 November - CrossCountry has said more details will follow about action on this day in due course.

Shiona Rolfe, Managing Director at CrossCountry, said: "We are disappointed for our customers that the RMT has announced more industrial action.

"While we will try to run as many services as services as possible, customers will inevitably face significant disruption. We are committed to reaching an agreement with the RMT and remain available to continue talks."
