The strike action by the RMT will result in a later start to Chiltern Railways services on Friday and Sunday (17 and 19) and some minor late-night alterations to a small number of services.

The operator strongly advises customers to triple-check their journey before they travel on these dates and ensure they are aware of the last service of the day. Customers can visit the Chiltern Railways strike page (www.chilternrailways.co.uk/strike) for more information.
