South Western Railway (SWR) has confirmed its services during industrial action from Monday 6 to Saturday 11 May.

On Monday 6 May, the Early May Bank Holiday, a revised service will operate across the SWR network due to a ban on overtime working by the ASLEF union.

On Tuesday (May 7) There will be no services at Exeter St David's. 

Trains will only run between 7am and 7pm. There will be no services outside of these times.

Customers should check before travelling. Journey planners expected to be up to date on Wednesday 1 May.

Customers are advised to only travel if their journeys are absolutely necessary. If customers must travel, they should check before they travel using journey planners, which are expected to be up to date on Tuesday 30 April.

From Wednesday 8 to Saturday 11 May, the overtime ban will again mean a revised service across the SWR network.

A South Western Railway spokesman said: “We are sorry to announce that, due to a ban on overtime working by the ASLEF union, along with planned engineering work, there will be disruption on the Early May Bank Holiday, Monday 6 May. A revised service will operate across our network so it is important that customers check before they travel.

“Strike action will take place the following day, Tuesday 7 May, and we are asking customers to only travel if their journeys are absolutely necessary. We will run a significantly reduced service with large parts of our network closed, and trains will only run between 7am and 7pm.

“The overtime ban will then continue from Wednesday 8 to Saturday 11 May which will again mean a revised service. Engineering work will take place on Saturday 11 leading to further service changes, so once again, we are encouraging customers to check before travelling.

“We are very sorry for the disruption that this industrial action will cause and are very thankful for our customers' continued patience.”

Strike action will impact other train operators on different days during the industrial action period. Customers are advised to check their whole journey before travelling between Monday 6 and Saturday 11 May.
