South Western Railway (SWR) is advising customers that, following the death of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the strike action due to affect our network next week has been suspended by the trade unions involved and we welcome this decision.
Strike action planned for 15th and 17th September 2022 will not now go ahead.
At a time of national mourning, we are united with the rest of the railway family in sending our condolences to His Majesty The King and the whole Royal Family.
Reinstate a normal service for strike days
SWR plans to reinstate a normal service for the days which would have been affected by the strikes. We are also working through what further changes might be required as part of preparations to help the nation commemorate Her Late Majesty.
We are not yet able to confirm the timetable for the day of Her Late Majesty’s funeral, Monday 19th September, therefore customers should check journey planners regularly for the latest information and should also be aware that services are expected to be extremely busy on that day.
