• EMR is increasing weekday capacity across its Intercity services from Monday 14 December
• Two Class 221 trains will join the fleet, operating in 10-carriage formation on selected weekday services, delivering up to 17,000 additional seats each week
• The additional capacity will support customers travelling between Sheffield, Nottingham and London St Pancras
• Due to platform length restrictions, services operated by the Class 221s will not call at Chesterfield, Beeston or Long Eaton
• Further customer information, including a familiarisation video showing what to expect on board the new Class 221 trains, will be shared ahead of their introduction

• EMR services to and from London St Pancras are expected to be extremely busy on Saturday 28, and Sunday 29, November due to engineering works on the East Coast Main Line
• Customers are advised to only travel if its essential to do so
• Customers who would normally travel with LNER are being strongly advised to follow the alternative arrangements, rather than travelling via EMR services
• Although journey planners may show the quickest route available, end to end journeys are unlikely to reflect the reality due to queues at stations 

• Buses will replace trains between Derby and Matlock from Saturday 14 to Sunday 22 November, calling at all stations along the route.
• Customers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys, as some replacement bus stops are a distance from the relevant railway station. 
• Clear signage will be in place to help customers find their way to and from the bus stops.
• EMR Intercity services between Sheffield, Derby and London are unaffected by the engineering works.
