You may have seen media reports that the train driver’s trade union ASLEF have today announced further strike dates, along with dates for action “short of a strike”, which could include not doing any overtime for instance.

The dates announced are for full strikes on Friday 12 May, Wednesday 31 May and Saturday 3 June

There will also be action short of a strike on Saturday 13 May, Monday 15 May through to Saturday 20 May and Thursday 1 June
We have updated our rail strike information web page www.gwr.com/strike and I will update you again when we have a better idea of the impact on services.

These are however train driver strikes and therefore likely to have significant impact.

I am sorry it is not better news.

Best wishes
