Several Bristol railway stations may reduce services next week as planned RMT strikes are expected to cause severe disruption for passengers travelling with Great Western Railway (GWR).
The train operator announced that across the industry and Network Rail from June 21 to June 25, action by the RMT union is expected to severely affect services. It said on strike days during that period it would be running only 30 per cent of services, urging passengers to "expect severe disruption and to only travel by rail if absolutely necessary".
A map created by GWR shows that on June 21, 23 and 25, it expects to run a very limited service "between 7.30am and 6.30pm only" through Severn Tunnel Junction, Pilning, Patchway, Bristol Parkway, Filton Abbey Wood, Stapleton Road, Lawrence Hill, Temple Meads, Bedminster and Parson Street.
