SWR operates “normal service” on strike days
SWR the train company that operates the Exeter to London Waterloo service says it will operate a full service next week. RMT and ASLEF are taking strike action on Wednesday 1 and Friday 3 February. SWR says it intends to run a normal service across the network (excepting the Isle of Wight services). This is becasue its mainline drivers are not part of the current dispute.
Services from Crewkerne, Yeovil Junction and Templecombe into London Waterloo operate as normal. However passengers are reminded that because of the landslip between Basingstoke and Woking SWR was already running a reduced service.
If you intend to travel on 1 or 3 of February, you are advised to check the latest travel updates before you leave. The impact of this strike action means there may be difficulties getting staff to where they need to be. Customers are therefore advised that short notice delays and cancellations are possible. Particularly if there is disruption on the network.
