Aylesbury commuter trains are expected to go to London via Amersham only from today up to and including Friday.
A Chiltern Railways spokesman commented on the strikes, saying: "It will also prevent Chiltern Railways operating any direct services between London Marylebone and Aylesbury (via Amersham from March 1 to March 3) as the signal boxes on the Metropolitan Line will be closed."
Where possible services from South Ruislip will be moved to West Ruislip to account for the strikes as well.
