In common with most other operators, train services on the Southeastern network will be affected by further strike action next Wednesday, 31st May, Friday, 2nd June and Saturday, 3rd June.

On Wednesday, 31st May and Saturday, 3rd June, passengers will be particularly affected, as there will be no trains running on Southeastern, or on the Thameslink and Southern networks.

Also, there will be no rail-replacement bus services.

On Friday, 2nd June, Southeastern will be running services, but they will be very limited service and some routes will be closed completely.

Anyone intending to travel during the strike dates should check their journey plans in advance.

Southeastern’s online journey planners have been updated to show changes for next Wednesday, 31st May, and will be updated tomorrow, Saturday, 27th May, for travel next Saturday, 3rd June.

Alternative transport arrangements for both days can be planned using traveline at https://www.traveline.info.

Some stations may have queuing systems in place to ensure that trains have enough room for customers who join at other stations along the route.

Only 58 of Southeastern‘s 180 stations will be open, and there will be no rail-replacement bus services from those stations that are closed.

Information and tickets and obtaining refunds can be found on Southeastern’s strike action webpage at https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/travel-information/live-travel-information/industrial-action

If trains operate, customers who have travelled and are delayed by 15 minutes or more can claim compensation through Delay Repay.

Scott Brightwell, Operations and Safety Director for Southeastern said: “We’re sorry to our customers for the disruption that this strike action will cause. If you’re travelling on the Friday, expect some disruption, please plan ahead and check your entire journey.

“The trains that are running will be busier and are likely to start later and finish earlier, and you may be unable to board trains at stations where a limited service is running, especially on the first few trains in the morning.”
