How to check train timetable during June train strikes as thousands of services cancelled

Millions of commuters and travellers have already been affected by the rail strikes that are taking place across the country.

It is no surprise that people are keen to know when they will come to an end, as it has made getting into work a real ordeal for most.

The train strike will be taking place across multiple days stretching across the week, but there are some alternative options for travel.

If possible, it is advised people work from home during the strike or find other transport if that isn’t an option.

The strikes are already well underway, with the Tube in London also grinding to a halt.

When are the strikes planned for?
