Strike To Cause Rail Disruption After Easter


Southern say they will run as many trains as possible

The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) has announced that RMT signallers and maintenance workers will take strike action on 6, 7, 8 and 9 April.

Southern advise that if the action goes ahead, Network Rail will be manning key signal boxes between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00, allowing them to operate a reduced service on some routes during these hours. Other routes will be closed and no services will operate.

Southern say they are currently working with Network Rail to finalise the timetable for the strike days and will publish this on their website and at stations from early next week.

They say they will be endeavouring to run as many trains as possible, but it will be a much reduced service and trains will be exceptionally busy.

Passengers intending to travel on any of these days should note that no services will operate after 18:50 and they should plan their journeys accordingly.

Passengers can also visit the National Rail Enquiries website which features a dedicated disruption page.
