810 Trains Spark Strike Threat | Nottingham News

With walkouts set for August 1, 8, and 15, and managing director Will Rogers exiting the company, tensions remain high as EMR apologizes for chaos and urges travelers to avoid trains during strikes, running a minimal service from 7 AM to 7 PM while still claiming the 810s are safe.
