TRAVEL INFORMATION DURING INDUSTRIAL ACTION

Hull Trains are not impacted by the ASLEF industrial action announced for Thursday 4th to Saturday 6th April & Monday 8th to Tuesday 9th April. 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 5th and 8th April are valid for travel between 4th and 10th April. This only applies to tickets purchased before the strikes were announced (20th March).
• 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.

We advise passengers to check their entire journey, particularly where you are travelling on the first or last train of the day. Passengers should also check the day before or after a strike day where there is a return normal service as some services may start later or finish earlier. Find alternative transport options for strike days at www.traveline.info

Unfortunately, alternative transport cannot be provided during the Industrial Action and you must move to an alternative service or obtain a refund for your journey. 
While we are making every effort to ensure that first class catering is available, unfortunately this complimentary offer cannot be guaranteed during days of industrial action. This is due to the fact that our supply chain and staffing levels will be impacted. As First Class catering is complimentary, we would not provide recompense for our inability to provide this service during your journey.
Normal compensation arrangements apply, therefore if you travel and your service is delayed or you are not able to reach your destination then you may claim Delay Repay compensation by clicking here.
