All,
As a Southern commuter - I'd like to start a thread regarding the actual impact of the strikes on train services, so I can plan ahead. There's a long and detailed discussion in this thread about DOO - http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=129551. Please keep discussion of the causes of the strike to that thread - but please can we use this thread to discuss the impact on train services.
According to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36082600, the 24hr strikes will be on the 26th April, and 10th and 12th of May. As the strikes start at 11am, for us commuters the effective dates will be 26-27th April and 10-13 May.
I assume Thameslink will continue to run (albeit heavily overcrowded), and maybe some Southern BML services that are already DOO - I know there are some, but I don't know which (Metro and some GTW - VIC?). Does anyone know which lines are likely to run, and which are not?
