There will no rail services at all on some routes (including the Severn Beach Line) on the strike days this week – Tuesday 21 June, Thursday 23 June and Saturday 25 June. Where services can run they will be extremely limited with much later start and much earlier finish times.
There will also be a restricted service on Wednesday 22 June, Friday 24 June and Sunday 26 June, with services starting late and finishing very early.
Full timetables are now in online journey planners for Tuesday 21 June and Thursday 23 June, and timetables for days between the strikes are also available. Where services are running rail travel should only be considered if absolutely necessary.
There will be no alternative road replacement available, and there is still the potential for further changes even on the day.
We know that customers will need time to plan ahead. As well as checking timetables, there are maps www.gwr.com/strike showing which routes are open. This will be kept updated with the latest information.
Anything you can do to alert your networks, constituents, members, staff and customers about the impact of the strike would be very helpful. If there is anything else we can provide for you to help get the message out please do let us know.
As always if there is anything else we can help with either before or during the strikes, we are here and will do our best to help.
Best wishes
