York train passengers faced disruption on Sunday (June 16) as drivers and on-board staff refused to work overtime shifts on the day of England’s opening Euro 2024 football match. LNER, which operates the East Coast Main Line, and Northern, whose services run between York and Leeds, were among those that cancelled services at short notice because of the issue. Sunday working is part of the usual roster for drivers employed by LNER, but the publicly-owned firm announced shortly before 6pm on Saturday it had cancelled 13 services on the following day – including eight between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh – due to “a shortage of train crew”.
