 Rail companies could be forced to default on franchise

Two of Britain's major rail operators, National Express and Stagecoach, could be forced to give up their rail franchises, a city analyst has warned.

Proposed Industrial Action by c2c retail employees Monday 2 March

 

Taken from C2C's Website 

The strike will involve some of C2C's retail employees who are RMT and TSSA members, on an issue relating to paid leave.  We remain open to discussion with the trade unions on this matter.

Customers using c2c train services are advised that this will not affect the services we provide and we will continue to operate a full, scheduled train service throughout the day on Monday 2 March.

We hope to open all of our ticket offices as normal.  Customers are advised they may also purchase tickets in advance at all our ticket offices.
