Train strikes: when are they and which routes are affected?

Rail operators have updated the public with information on services ahead of the biggest strike in a generation next week.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) and Unite on London Underground are set to strike on June 21, paralyzing tube service in the capital.

The RMT is also on strike at Network Rail (NR) and 13 train operators on June 21, 23 and 25, which will result in a large number of services being cancelled.

Network Rail (NR) said no passenger services will serve places such as Penzance in Cornwall, Bournemouth in Dorset, Swansea in South Wales, Holyhead in North Wales, Chester in Cheshire and Blackpool, Lancashire.

There will also be no passenger trains going north from Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Open lines include the West Coast Main Line from London to Scotland via places like Birmingham and Manchester.

The number of passenger services on those days is expected to be limited to around 4,500, compared to 20,000 normally.

When should I take the last train?

Lines will only be open between 7.30am and 6.30pm, meaning services will start later and end earlier than usual.

Here are some examples of last trains out of London on strike days:

– To Edinburgh: 2pm

– To Leeds: 3.05pm

– To Birmingham: 3.43pm

– To Cardiff: 4.27pm

– To Brighton: 5.50pm

Passengers “who must travel” are being urged to “plan ahead” to ensure they can complete their journeys within that time window, Network Rail said.

The last services from London to Scotland depart in the early afternoon.

The disruption is expected to last throughout the week

TfL said it expects severe disruption or no service on all Tube lines on Tuesday, with no service before 8am on Wednesday.

There will also be reduced service on London Overground and the new Elizabeth line over the three days of RMT strikes.

In the days after the strikes, only about 12,000 to 14,000 services will be able to operate.

This is because signallers and control staff are not working night shifts starting on strike dates, allowing trains to leave depots up to four hours later than normal.
