TRAVEL INFORMATION DURING INDUSTRIAL ACTION
Hull Trains are not impacted by the recently announced ASLEF strikes between 2nd & 8th December. We are operating our normal timetable.
Extended Ticket Validity
• As Hull Trains services are not affected, Hull Trains tickets will remain valid only for the date specified on the ticket.
• Customers travelling with tickets for other operators services affected by strike action can get a refund from their ticket retailer if they chose not to travel. Alternatively:
• Tickets for other operators dated between 2nd and 8th December are valid for travel between 1st and 12th December. This only applies to tickets purchased before the strikes were announced (17th November).
• If the ticket is for a journey that includes the London Underground and Transport for London services, it will not be valid on London Underground services on an alternative date.
