Great Western Rail has provided some information on rail services over the next few days as strikes continue.

The Aslef union has announced strike action that will affect rail services on Wednesday 31 May and Saturday 3 June, and the RMT has announced strike action that will affect services on Friday 2 June.

There will also be further disruption on Thursday 1 June due to industrial action short of a strike which will likely cause some short-notice alterations or cancellations.

On the strike days a reduced, revised timetable will operate across several train operators, including GWR. Many parts of the GWR network will have no service at all. Services will start later and only operate for a limited period during the day.

During action short of a strike and the days after strikes, services could also be affected by a limited number of short-notice cancellations and alterations.
