ASLEF, Train Drivers Union, Industrial Action Starting Monday 29 January until Tuesday 6 February,

This means that GWR are now only able to run a very limited high-speed service this Sunday 4 February, as they have fewer drivers available to work – especially on their long-distance services. As such, some parts of the GWR network will have no service at all, including all long distance trains out of London Paddington to Bristol, South Wales, and the South West. There will be no replacement bus services in lieu of these services in operation either.

Customers are advised to travel before the weekend or after Sunday. Where GWR can run services (and they expect to this include most of their local services), only a limited number of trains will run, they will be much busier than usual, and services will be subject to short notice alteration or cancellations.

Online journey planners should now be updated and accurate. Customers with tickets for travel from Tuesday 30 January to Monday 5 February can use these to travel up to and including Wednesday 7 February.

Passengers aiming to travel from now until Tuesday 6 February should check before they travel using www.gwr.com/check.
