“Your ticket will be valid on the next available service. Sorry for any inconvenience.”

In a further update, the EMR explained that refunds would be available and gave the cause of the cancellation.

"This cancellation is due to an industrial strike by the members of the RMT union which has been advertised on our website," EMR tweeted.

"Due to the cancellation, you are entitled to a full refund."
