Planned strikes for the next few days will impact trains running through Bristol, GWR has confirmed today. The Aslef union has announced strike action that will affect rail services on Friday 12 May, Wednesday 31 May and Saturday 3 June, and the RMT has announced strike action that will affect services on Saturday 13 May.
In addition, there will be further disruption from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 May and on Saturday 13 May and Thursday 1 June, due to industrial action short of a strike. This action short of strike is likely to cause some short-notice alterations or cancellations and Great Western Railway is urging passengers to check their journeys before setting out.
On the strike days, a reduced, revised timetable will operate across several train operators, including GWR. Many parts of the GWR network will have no service at all. Services will start later and only operate for a limited period during the day.
