Chiltern Railways has issued strong guidance to customers to only travel if absolutely essential on the day of RMT strike action on Wednesday 27 July.
There will be extremely limited availability of staff and as such they will not be able to operate services on most routes, with many services finishing much earlier than usual.
Passengers seeking to travel to Leamington Spa, Oxford or Birmingham New Street on this day can join an hourly CrossCountry service at Banbury, which our terminating services will connect to.
Due to the lack of staff, it means that there will be a later start to their service on Thursday 28 July too.
Chiltern Railways strongly advises customers to consider their journey and seek alternative methods of transport, but in cases where rail travel is a necessity, to check their travel plans and last train home on the Chiltern Railways website (www.chilternrailways.co.uk) or app.
More information and FAQs can be found on www.chilternrailways.co.uk/strike.
