More Strikes
The RMT Union and SouthWestTrains have still failed to reach agreement over the use of guards on trains. As a result the RMT have planned industrial action for Saturday 22nd and Thursday 27th December.
Rail replacement services and ticket acceptance on other bus and rail networks have been organised where possible but passengers are strongly advised to plan their travel in advance and allow extra time for journeys as services are likely to be much busier than usual.
Services impacted in Somerset will be the Exeter to London Waterloo line serving Crewkerne Yeovil Junction (Sherbourne) and Templecombe.
First Great Western Services through Taunton Bridgwater and Castle Cary will not be effected.
