Strikes 16th & 18th March - what will be running?

[mrmartin]

Given the RMT have cancelled the strike, I thought there may be more scope to run more services, but GWR is still saying an extremely limited service with services finishing around 19:30.

Is this likely to be it? Or will they be able to run later services?

With guards striking, some managers like CTM’s and DTM’s may be trained to be the conductors so “some” services can run.. but it won’t be many!

It's only the Network Rail part of the dispute that's been suspended, the action by TOC staff is still going ahead.

Timetables out tomorrow.

TOCs in the dispute will be running their normal strike service, or something like it.

 

[mrmartin]

Understood. Thought there may be scope to run a later service with the signallers working; but clearly the TOC staff striking probably doesn't allow for the limited amount of managers to do many more hours.

I'll go to Leatherhead for a race. Will Southern and South Western Railway services run normally on that day?

which day? If 16th / 18th, no.

I'll travel on the 16th. Will none of the two services be running? If so I take the 465 bus to go to Leatherhead.

Nothing at Leatherhead all day (Unless you count the 0018 to Horsham)

it’s all in journey planners now.

On SWR, I see the Salisbury - Basingstoke line has gained an hourly service on strike days, as well as Guildford - Woking.

Yep - and this would have happened even if NR had remained on strike.
