Passengers suffer rail disruption

Rail passengers in the East Midlands have faced a fourth weekend of disruption to services.

East Midlands Trains (EMT) drivers have been failing to turn up for voluntary Sunday shifts due to a pay dispute.

But EMT managing director Tim Shovellor said even if the current dispute was resolved, the issue of voluntary working still had to be dealt with.

Train drivers' union Aslef has said the disruption is not official action and it wants to resolve the dispute.

Passengers hoping to travel on Sunday are advised to check information about services on www. eastmidlandstrains.co.uk or by phoning National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50.
