Over 40,000 staff members from Network Rail and thirteen train operators intend on walking out, over three days next week – Tuesday 21st June, Thursday 23rd June and Saturday 25th June.
LNER launched its first passenger services on the East Coast Main Line on May 15, using the Hitachi-built Class 800 ‘Azuma’ express trains as part of a rolling programme to replace both its Class 91 and Mk4 and HST fleets.
