Aylesbury rail passengers warned of upcoming strike action affecting Chiltern Railways

Rail passengers in Aylesbury have been warned to expect delays due to strike action affecting services run by Chiltern Railways.

Industrial action by ASLEF is due to hit the network between September 29 and October 6 with no services running on Saturday, September 30 and Wednesday, October 4.

An overtime ban by the union is also in place on Friday, September 29 and October 2, 3, 5 and 6 This will mean a reduced service across most of the Chiltern Railways network, varying by route and station, and some early morning and late-night alternations to train times.

Passengers should ensure they check their journey before travelling.

On October 6, an RMT strike on the London Underground network will affect services along the Metropolitan Line, meaning that Chiltern Railways services will not be able to call at stations between Harrow on the Hill and Amersham.

Engineering works will also affect some journeys prior to the industrial action taking place, with buses replacing trains on some routes in the final week of September.

Chiltern Railways is urging customers to check before they travel here, or the Chiltern Railways app.
