The East feels the strain hardest, while the South and West are recovering. After peaking in February, this reversal signals a fragile rebound — and we’re watching closely to see if it

Plus, during the strike starting September 9th, NS will stop covering alternative travel costs if cancellations are due to industrial action—but you’ll still get compensation for delays if you’ve already checked in.
