Rail Services to be Affected this Week

Great Western Railway (GWR) is expecting rail services to be ‘severely affected’ this week due to planned industrial action by train unions.

Industrial action by the RMT, Aslef and the TSSA unions is due to take place on Wednesday, July 27 and Saturday, July 30.

GWR is predicting its services to be impacted, with a ‘significantly reduced’ temporary timetable in place.

An ‘extremely limited’ service will operate between 7am and 6.30pm on both days, with the last trains leaving much earlier.

No services will run before 7am on non-strike days.

Services on either side of the strike days, up to and including Sunday, July 31, will also be affected due to the timing of the strike action.
