Passengers warned of severe disruption due to drivers’ strikes on 1 and 3 February – with significant impact on the days before and after walkouts
- Due to a walkout of train drivers at 14 train companies, special timetables will be published on the National Rail Enquiries website on Friday
- Passengers are urged to check before they travel as there will be no service across large parts of the network
- Passengers who must travel should expect disruption, plan ahead and check when their last train will depart
RMT and ASLEF strikes will disrupt return to work rail travel between 3-7th January
- With the RMT striking on 3,4, 6 and 7 January only around 20% of services will operate and half of the network will shut down. There are likely to be even fewer services on 5 January due to a strike by drivers who belong to ASLEF
- Special timetables for the RMT strike dates have been published on National Rail Enquiries and train company websites. A special timetable for the ASLEF strike on 5 January will be published on Thursday
- On all five days trains will start later and finish much earlier than usual, between 7.30am and 6.30pm
- Passengers who must travel should expect disruption, plan ahead and check when their last train will depart
- The RMT leadership have also imposed an overtime ban across 14 train operators until 2 January, which may lead to short-notice cancellations with wide regional variations over the next few days.
Passengers should expect disruption due to 24-hour strike by Aslef on 26 November
- A 24-hour walkout by drivers at eleven train companies will cause disruption to passengers on Saturday 26 November
- A special timetable for 26th has now been published, but passengers are advised to follow the latest travel advice, check before they travel and allow extra time for their journey. Other train companies not involved in the strike will be running trains, but these are expected to be busy.
- Passengers with tickets can use their ticket either on the day before the date on the ticket, or up to and including Tuesday 29 November
