The extra 5 days have been called off due to LNER backtracking on running minimum service levels during the other strike days apparently. Another well thought out plan from the government.
It’s a nightmare. It’s going to take 4 different trains to get to where I need to work, its an absolute fucking joke and I have zero fucks and sympathy left to give now.
You should be able to get a refund when strike action is called. All TOCs will switch day or refund, if you've used a third party like Trainline they make it more awkward but they shouldn't be charging a fee to alter or refund
