Monday 17 – Saturday 22 July – Action Short of Strike

Between Monday 17 and Saturday 22 July, members of the ASLEF union will take action short of a strike.

This means that we expect there will be a number of train cancellations. We advise customers to check before they travel as train services could be cancelled as late as 22:00 the day prior to travel.
