Planned industrial action by the RMT union across the industry means we expect rail services to be severely affected from 21 to 25 June, and a significantly reduced temporary timetable will be in place.
Only travel by rail if necessary. If you do travel, expect severe disruption and plan ahead.
GWR will operate as many trains as possible during the strike action however, most train services will be affected on the days announced. Due to the timing of the strike action, services in between strike days will also be affected.
Where we are able to run services, they are expected to be extremely busy. We are not able to provide bus replacement services.
Customers who have already purchased tickets can claim a full refund or can amend their ticket; those who travel and are delayed may be entitled to delay repay compensation if they are delayed by 15 mins or more. Season ticket holders can apply for compensation through the Delay Repay scheme.
To help customers, GWR is allowing people with tickets for travel on strike days to be able to travel on the day before and up to two days after.
Our refund policy and Book with Confidence policy will remain in place and we will update this page with more information if the current situation changes.
