East Midlands Railway Industrial Action and Ownership Change

EMR was one of several train operators impacted by the 2022-2023 United Kingdom railway strikes, which was the first national rail strike in the UK for three decades.

Its workers were amongst those who participated in industrial action due to a dispute over pay and working conditions. On multiple occasions, EMR has requested that the travelling public avoid using its services on certain dates due to these strikes.

During February 2023, Transport UK Group concluded a management buyout of Abellio's United Kingdom business, which included EMR.
