Deal restores most rail services
Most weekday services operated by Central Train services are returning to normal after months of disruption.

A reduced timetable had been in place since the beginning of the year due to an overtime disagreement with the train drivers' union Aslef.

But from Monday, an agreement means most weekday services across the region will return to the published schedule.

Some off peak services in Lincs, into Birmingham and between Nottingham and Crewe will be affected until 11 June.

In a separate dispute, a series of one day strikes by senior conductors was called off after the company and the RMT union agreed to negotiations.
