South Western Railway (SWR) have announced the timetable for a day of strikes on May 31 and June 2.

Earlier this week it was announced that there would be a strike but the timetable had not been announced.

There will be disruption across the network during the strike days and customers are being asked to only make essential journeys and to check their journey online before departure.

May 31 and June 3

There will be a nationwide strike by ASLEF union members which will affect SWR's depot drivers, who bring trains in and out of service. Services will be limited across the South West and there will be a shuttle bus between Exeter St. Davids and Basingstoke. Customers travelling between Exeter St Davids and London Waterloo will be required to change at Basingstoke.

June 2

A nationwide strike by RMT union members will severely reduce the number of trains running and the hours they will be operating.

There will be a significantly reduced service between 0700 and 1900 and large parts of the network will be closed. Outside of these hours there will be no services.

There will be no services through Honiton and trains will be terminating at Basingstoke.

Services on June 4 will start later than usual and may be subject to cancellations and delays.
