Chiltern customers asked to check before they travel ahead of industrial action

Chiltern Railways is asking customers to check before they travel due to upcoming ASLEF industrial action on the network.

Due to an overtime ban on Friday 1 December, Saturday 2 December and between Monday 4 and Saturday 9 December, a limited timetable will be in operation across the Chiltern Railways network. Customers should ensure they check their full journey before they travel.

Trains will be busier than usual for the duration of the industrial action, particularly on Thursday 7 December, when local operators CrossCountry and Great Western Railway (GWR) are not operating any services.

On Friday 1 December, Chiltern Railways will not be serving Wembley Stadium station. Customers attending the England v Netherlands game at Wembley Stadium are advised to use TfL/London Underground services to reach the stadium on this day.

On Sunday 3 December, no Chiltern Railways services will operate due to strike action.

Strike action is taking place across multiple dates at different train operating companies. If customers are travelling with more than one operator, they should check their full journey with the relevant companies for connecting journeys next week.

Customers can find out further information on Chiltern Railways services during this period by visiting www.chilternrailways.co.uk/strike.
