As part of nationwide strike action by the ASLEF Union, there will be no trains beyond Twickenham on Friday (1 September).

There will be no trains towards Hounslow, Feltham, Ascot, Staines or Windsor & Eton Riverside stations.

The strikes will affect SWR's main line drivers, whereas previous strikes have only affected depot drivers., who bring trains in and out of service.

With far fewer main line drivers available, SWR will operate a much different timetable to previous strike days. 

An extremely limited service will operate on a small number of lines across the rest of the SWR network with trains only running between 7am and 7pm. 

The majority of the SWR network will be closed and only the following services will run: 

  • Waterloo to Woking – 2 trains per hour (tph) (4tph during peak hours) 
  • Waterloo to Twickenham – 2tph 
  • Waterloo to Basingstoke – 1tph 
  • Guildford to Woking – 1tph 

Customers are advised to check before they travel.
