On Monday 7th (today) and Wednesday 9th November, RMT members (signallers) at Network Rail will be on strike. RMT members at GWR (on board & station staff) will also be on strike on 9th November.
On each strike day, there will be no GWR services operating on the majority of our network. Full detail of where we are able to run services is on our dedicated webpage at www.gwr.com/strike, as well as information on when online journey planners will be updated and accurate – timetables for up to and including Sunday 6th November are now accurate.
On the strike days, there will be no service between Oxford and Worcester/Hereford. There will be a very limited service in place between London Paddington and Oxford, Oxford and Didcot Parkway, and Didcot Parkway and Reading.
Our advice to customers remains not to travel unless absolutely necessary, and to make alternative arrangements. Where services can run they will start much later and finish much earlier than usual.
Services will also be impacted on the days in between and after strike days, with some cancellations, a later service start up than usual and some routes running at a reduced frequency.
If you can share this with your networks that would be greatly appreciated.
