South Western Railway New Year's Eve service summary and response to RMT industrial action

Monday 31st December 2018

A South Western Railway spokesperson said:

“The RMT continues to play politics with their ongoing strike action, causing misery at a time when people just want to be with friends and family to celebrate the new year. If the union really cares about passengers it should call off these strikes and start helping to build a better railway.

“We have guaranteed to roster a guard on every train - we are employing more, not fewer guards. We remain focused on running services and delivering the improvements our customers deserve including investing £1.2billion over the course of the franchise.

“We will do everything we can to keep customers moving and reduce disruption whenever the RMT strikes.”

Rail replacement services and ticket acceptance on other bus and rail networks have been organised where possible but passengers are strongly advised to plan their travel in advance and allow extra time for journeys as services are likely to be much busier than usual.
