Aurora Trains in Crisis | Nottingham News

East Midlands Railway is hit with major disruption as RMT strikes ground to a halt over safety fears around new Class 810 Aurora trains—accused of frequent faults forcing full resets, risking critical systems. EMR insists the trains passed all safety tests and are compliant, but union demands a full withdrawal from service until fixes are made. Passengers face slashed timetables, hourly services between key cities, and even First Class seats opened up—only for essential travel. More strikes loom for August 8th and 15th, with additional industrial action set to cause further chaos. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
