Train Strike To Go Ahead This Saturday And Next

Southern and Thameslink Railways will be affected by a train strike by RMT, scheduled for Saturday, October 1 and 8.

There will also be a strike by ASLEF on Wednesday October 5, which, although not involving southern train drivers, will also impact services.

Advice from the rail companies is as follows:

  • Only travel if absolutely necessary and expect severe disruption. 
  • The railway will operate limited opening hours with services starting later than normal and finishing in the late afternoon. Please check your first and last trains carefully, as there will be no alternative travel outside of these services. 
  • We will let you know when journey planners will be updated for any future dates in the section above. You must check your journey immediately before you travel for the latest updates. Please see below for FAQs regarding your options.
  • The disruption from an RMT strike day will have a knock-on effect as the railway will be unavailable overnight meaning that trains and crew will not be in the correct locations to provide a normal service. This means that first services will begin much later than normal.
  • We expect first services to be extremely crowded and you may not be able to board your chosen service.
  • If you travel anywhere on our network on an ASLEF strike day you should expect disruption and overcrowding, and always check immediately before you travel for the latest information and advice.
