Govia Thameslink warn passengers ahead of no train service on Tuesday

Tuesday, January 30, 2024

Govia Thameslink said there would be no services on the majority of its network.

Rail passengers should plan ahead with another day of industrial action due to hit south-east England on Tuesday.

Govia Thameslink Railway operates the Southern, Gatwick Express, Thameslink and Great Northern trains.

Drivers who are members of the Aslef union are due to walk out.

It is part of nine days of action across the country.

The dispute over pay began in July 2022 and involves drivers at 16 rail companies.

An overtime ban between 29 January and 6 February will also mean amended timetable and fewer services.

Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) says it will be running some limited shuttle services on 30 January. It is including between Gatwick Airport and London Victoria.

Passengers using the shuttle service, which will be busy, are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys.

Jenny Saunders, GTR’s customer services director said that he is very sorry about the impact this industrial action will have on our customers.

Whilst there will be trains running on either side of the strike day, the nationwide overtime ban means they are only able to run an amended timetable with fewer trains.

With other train operators affected on different days, they’re asking customers to check their entire journey each day from Monday 29 January until Tuesday 6 February.
