People are being urged not to travel by train this week due to major rail strikes by the RMT union beginning on June 21. The strikes are taking place on three days but transport chiefs say services will be hit throughout the week. Transport for Wales and First Great Western are both affected in Wales.
The vast majority of rail routes in Wales will have no services on Tuesday, June 21, Thursday, June 23 and Saturday, June 25 because of the walkout by members of the RMT union working for Network Rail. However, rail bosses say that services from Monday June 20 will be affected because of the walkout and are asking people to only travel if essential.
