Chiltern Railways warn of disruption due to RMT strike action

There will be a number of train staff strikes over the next few weeks, the first one is tomorrow (5/11) and then the 7th and 9th November.

They're warning that on these days, there will be extremely limited availability of staff and as such they will not be able to operate services on most routes.   

Additionally, strike action is taking place on the London Underground network on 10 November and there will be no Chiltern Railways service between Aylesbury and Amersham on this day.  Chiltern Railways will not be serving Wembley Stadium station on 10 November.

There will be a later start to Chiltern Railways services on 6, 8 and 10 November as a result. Customers should check their first train if they are travelling on these days.   

As a result of the strike action, there will be some minor late-night alterations to a very small number of services on 4, 6, 8 and 10 November. Customers are advised to check their journey before travelling. 

Chiltern Railways strongly advises customers to consider their journey and seek alternative methods of transport on the days where strike action is taking place, but in cases where rail travel is a necessity, to check their travel plans and last train home on the Chiltern Railways website (www.chilternrailways.co.uk) or app.    

An amended timetable will be available online shortly. More information and FAQs can be found on www.chilternrailways.co.uk/strike.
